England square off against Pakistan in the first semi-final of ICC Champions Trophy 2017. Eoin Morgan’s side have been dominant and have been undefeated so far but they will not take an unpredictable Pakistan side lightly.
However, Pakistan marched into the semi-finals after recording a dramatic three-wicket victory against Sri Lanka at the same ground on Monday.
England, perhaps the strongest team in limited-overs cricket, remained unbeatable in the tournament with 6 points winning all the games of Group A.
Sarfraz is fully aware that Pakistan are nowhere near the all-conquering England side but still stressed that his team has the guts to beat the hosts. Beside this Rumman Raees has replaced Muhammad Amir due to his injury.
Pakistan squad:
Sarfraz Ahmed, Ahmed Shehzad, Azhar Ali, Babar Azam, Fahim Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Sohail, Hasan Ali, Imad Wasim, Junaid Khan, Mohammad Hafeez, Rumman Raees, Shadab Khan, Shoaib Malik
