ICC World Cup 2019: Match 6, England vs Pakistan – Statistical Preview

England made a good start to their World Cup 2019 campaign with a comfortable 104-run win over South Africa in the tournament opener. A collective team effort with the bat helped the hosts to post yet another 300+ and later bundled out the Saffers to just 207. They will be up against Pakistan whom they defeated 4-0 earlier this month. Pakistan were demolished by the Windies in their first game as they were bundled out for just 105 and the Caribbean team chased down the target with 218 balls to spare.
