The challenging path to the semi-finals has become nearly impossible after New Zealand’s recent victory over Sri Lanka. To secure a spot, Pakistan must convincingly defeat England, requiring a 287-run victory if batting first or restricting England to 50 runs within two or three overs if bowling first.
In a pre-game press conference, Azam expressed optimism, emphasizing the importance of executing their net run-rate strategy. He outlined plans for the initial ten overs and highlighted the roles of Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Mohammad Rizwan.

Azam acknowledged the impact of varying conditions in India on his World Cup performance, stating that he adapts his batting style to the game circumstances. Reflecting on past matches, he mentioned the missed opportunities against South Africa and Afghanistan, emphasizing the team’s collective failure rather than singling out individuals for blame.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
