England will look to end World Cup campaign on high note to remain in contention for the Champions Trophy
England will look to end their World Cup campaign on a high when they come up against Pakistan on Saturday at Eden Gardens in Kolkata to stay in contention for the Champions Trophy . Ben Stokes finally put an end to England 's losing streak after smashing his first World Cup century and leading his side to an emphatic win over the Netherlands on Wednesday. However, concerns remain over the rest of the squad, and in particular captain Jos Buttler , after he was dismissed for five.
Pakistan come into this fixture off the back of two wins, against New Zealand in a rain-affected encounter and a nine-wicket victory over Bangladesh. However, the 1992 champions now face the almost impossible task of making it to the semi-finals. They currently have four wins from eight games and must match New Zealand's five wins and drastically improve their net run-rate to make it to the knockout stages.
