This will be a matchup that will be interesting since both sides will face challenging sub-continent conditions. The Australian team has already shown problematic signs before the tournament, losing the two-match ODI series against Sri Lanka after failing to counter the spinners. The Steve Smith-led side will look to prove their doubters wrong in the upcoming game against the Three Lions.

The England team has also not been in great form in the 50-over format where they have lost the last three ODI series. They will also be going into the tournament on the back of a 3-0 defeat against India where they also faced challenges. This will be an interesting battle between the two heavyweights of international cricket.

Pitch report

Though the pitches in Karachi and Dubai have been very challenging the surface at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore has been known to be a paradise for the batters. The last match at the venue was played in the Tri-series where New Zealand chased down a 300+ total against South Africa. Though batting first has been the norm of the tournament so far the best thing to do on this wicket might be to bowl first.
