In this match, the England team will be captained by Eoin Morgan, the driving force behind the development of English limited-overs cricket. He is a game-changer because of his ability to hit with force and his ability to lead under pressure. Pakistan Legends' Mohammad Hafeez will start the innings. He is also a useful off-spin bowler. The Pakistani champions will be led by Hafeez in this match. Shoaib Malik is a seasoned all-rounder and a highly versatile cricket player for Pakistan.
