Pakistan elect to field as Shadab returns and Razaullah debuts against England
Pakistan won the toss and elected to field against England at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium on Sunday in a tri-series match.
Squad changes for both sides
Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi confirmed that Shadab Khan returns after missing the first two contests. Razaullah made his One-day International debut while Naseem Shah and Faheem Ashraf were left out due to injury or selection decisions. England fielded Henry Crocombe as a replacement for Josh Tongue, with Adil Rashid continuing to sit out the game.
Pink kits for awareness campaign
Players from the national side will wear pink uniforms during the contest to support breast cancer awareness. The Pakistan Cricket Board organized this initiative alongside their regular tournament activities. Both teams are set to compete under these special conditions before the match begins.
Standings and final qualification
Pakistan have won both previous matches and require one more win to reach the October 31 final. England has lost their first two games and faces elimination if they suffer another defeat in this fixture. Sri Lanka remains in the tournament after winning one of their two matches so far.
