Pakistan's 16 are led by Shaheen Shah Afridi
Pakistan's ODI squad is the 16 the PCB named on 5 October, led by Shaheen Shah Afridi. The ECB match page still lists 16 Pakistan players, including Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub and Shadab Khan, when we opened it on 24 October.
The squad is Shaheen Shah Afridi (captain), Abrar Ahmed, Salman Ali Agha, Arafat Minhas, Babar Azam, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Ghazi Ghori, Haris Rauf, Hasan Nawaz, Naseem Shah, Razaullah, Saad Baig, Saim Ayub, Shadab Khan and Sufiyan Moqim.
Shadab and Sufiyan missed the opener through illness. The PCB said on 18 October that both would be considered as they recover. Arafat Minhas took six wickets against England in Rawalpindi, so expect him to keep his place.
England bring 16 under Harry Brook
England's ODI squad is captained by Harry Brook, who made 202 against Sri Lanka on 22 October and still finished on the losing side. Joe Root, Ben Duckett, Adil Rashid and Gus Atkinson are also in the 16.
The full list is Brook, Atkinson, Baker, Banton, Coles, Cox, Crane, Crocombe, Curran, Dawson, Duckett, Jacks, Overton, Rashid, Root and Tongue, as the ECB named it on 1 October. All three squads are side by side in the tri-series squads list.
A Pakistan win sends them to the final
Pakistan have 4 points from two wins, Sri Lanka 2 and England 0. A Pakistan win on Sunday takes them to 6 points and guarantees a place in the 31 October final. An England win keeps all three sides alive.
We checked the results on the PCB home page on 24 October. Pakistan made 302 for 9 and bowled England out for 215 on 20 October. The detail is in the tri-series points table after 22 October.
Tickets start at Rs 300 and it is pink day
General tickets for this match cost Rs 300 and VIP Rs 800 on the PCB price chart, up to Rs 20,000 for a Far End Box seat. Pakistan will wear pink kits for breast cancer awareness, with activities starting about two hours before play.
