England take on Pakistan in semi-final 1 of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. It is a contest where the team to beat England take on an unpredictable Pakistan. Well there are reasons for calling Pakistan as unpredictable as on days they are too hot and on other days they are too cold. It was the individual brilliance of Sarfraz Ahmed who put up a 75 run partnership with Mohammad Amir to see them through to the knockout stage. In an interview agter Pakistan reached the semis, Sarfraz Ahmed said that even he did not expect Pakistan to qualify. England on the other hand have won three out of three in their group, topping it eventually. England are certainly better placed on paper than Pakistan. Pakistan is a team that historically have relied on their pacers to see them through and this time it is no different. Mohammad Amir and Hassan Ali have been the showstoppers for them Hassan Ali is currently placed at the second spot when it comes to highest wickets. At the top of the tree on that list is English pacer Liam Plunket, who has had a tournament to remember.

England will be relying on their top order to fire as they have been doing in the tournament. England will pin their hopes on Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Eoin Morgan who have been in emphatic form. England are also good in their fielding department, whereas Pakistan was found wanting on the field, they dropped catches and gave away easy singles. The match is being played at Cardiff.
