England vs Pakistan Chance of Winning
England managed to stop the rut as they registered their second win in the World Cup against Netherlands. England were already knocked out of the competition but needed a win to stay in contention to finish in top eight inorder to play in the 2025 Champions Trophy. In the last game, Ben Stokes was majestic as England beat Netherlands by 160 runs. With four points, England are seventh on the table level on points with Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Netherlands.
Pakistan head into this penultimate game needing a miracle to make the semis as New Zealand registered a comfortable win against Sri Lanka and improved their NRR even further. Looking back, Pakistan’s loss against Afghanistan would be seen as the game that cost Pakistan in this tournament. As per our calculations, this game could go down to the wire. Pakistan are slight favourites in the upcoming game.
- England’s chances of winning - 45%
- Pakistan’s chances of winning - 55%

England vs Pakistan Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Jos Buttler has been one of the biggest disappointments in the World Cup thus far. He was expected to lead his country to yet another World Cup glory but it has turned into one of the worst title defences in World Cup history. In eight games, Buttler has scored 43, 20, 9, 15, 8, 10, 1 and 5 averaging 13.87. We believe Buttler would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.
Johnny Bairstow has had a poor campaign so far. In eight games thus far, Bairstow has scored 33, 52, 2, 10, 30, 14, 0 and averaging 19.50. In seven of those games, Bairstow has fallen short of required runs set by the bookmakers which makes us believe Bairstow would score low once again in the upcoming game against Pakistan

England vs Pakistan Betting Odds
Pakistan to have a better opening partnership than England
England's batting has been a let down in this tournament and has been one of the main reasons why they have failed to compete and have been knocked out of the World Cup. On the other hand, Pakistan top order has managed to do well in the last few games. Abdullah Shafique has been a revelation since his introduction in the World Cup and Fakhar Zaman has returned in the starting line up and has scored a half century and a century in the last two matches. On the other hand, even though Dawid Malan has been one of the best batsmen for England thus far, Johnny Bairstow has struggled throughout the tournament which has led to England losing early wickets in most of the games in this tournament. Only once England had a meaningful opening partnership which came early on in the World Cup against Bangladesh. Pakistan has had two 100 runs and a 50 run opening stand in the last five matches which makes us believe Pakistan would have a better opening stand than England in the upcoming game.

England vs Pakistan Top Team Batters
Ben Stokes to be England’s top batter
Ben Stokes' injury was one of the main reasons for England’s struggle in the World Cup. Stoke’s importance cannot be more evident as in the last two games, Stokes has hit a half century and a century in the last two games and has been the top scorer in three of the last four games which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Fakhar Zaman to be Pakistan’s top batter
Fakhar Zaman was brought back into the squad and since then he looks like a man on a mission. Zaman has been sensational in the last two games as he has scored a half century and a century heading into this game which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game
England vs Pakistan Top Team Bowlers
David Willey to be England’s top bowler
David Willey has been terrific for England in the World Cup as he has been one of the most consistent bowlers thus far. In five matches, Willey has bagged eight wickets and has been one of the most economical bowlers in this tournament which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Shaheen Afridi to be Pakistan’s top bowler
Shaheen Afridi had an underwhelming game in the last outing against New Zealand but that doesn’t change the fact, he is the reason why Pakistan are still in contention for making the semis. With 16 wickets, Shaheen Afridi is the leading wicket taker for Pakistan which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
