Pakistan are all set to take on England in four-match One Day International (ODI) series aiming World Cup 2019 ticket.
The Green shirts are all set for 50-over game after defeating the visitors in longest format of the game 2-0.
It will be a critical series for both team eyeing to improve their rankings.
Eighth-ranked Pakistan is currently sitting on 88 points as compared to sixth-ranked England’s 100 points.
With England, plus seven other top-ranked sides as on 30 September 2017, set to qualify directly for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, the only way Pakistan can move up the order is by winning matches against the higher-ranked sides.
As such, a 4-0 series win against England will earn Pakistan five points, while a 3-1 victory will mean a gain of three rankings points. It will earn only one point if the series ends in a two-all draw.
An England series win will mean Pakistan will lose points. If England sweeps the series, like it did in 2012, then Pakistan will drop to 86 points, while it will concede one point if England wins 3-1.
