England play their final match of the World Cup against Pakistan in Kolkata, with Pakistan needing to win by 287 runs if they are to reach the semi-finals.

New Zealand’s win over Sri Lanka all but ended Pakistan’s chances of making the semi-finals, but there is still hope, however slim.

If Pakistan win by the necessary 287 (or more) runs, it’ll be the sixth largest margin of victory in ODI history. Which, given how poorly England have played this World Cup, is perhaps not entirely out of the equation.

On the flip side, if Pakistan bowl first and dismiss England for 150, they’d have to chase it in fewer than five overs to achieve the necessary net run rate swing to make the semi-finals.

Aka, if Pakistan bowl first, then it really is impossible for them to make the final four.

From an England perspective, this will be the last time that David Willey ever represents the Three Lions, having announced that he will retire at the end of the tournament.

But, for the rest of them, the cricket never stops, with England next in action in less than a month’s time when they tour the West Indies, a run that captain Jos Buttler has stated he wishes to still be in charge for.

England v Pakistan key player to watch

Fakhar Zaman (Pakistan)

However unlikely Pakistan’s qualification to the semi-finals may be, their best shot is via their star opening batter Fakhar Zaman, who blasted 126 off 81 balls in their last match against New Zealand to follow up his 81 against Bangladesh.

Pakistan need a miracle. And Fakhar is the one who could deliver it.
