England captain Paul Collingwood faces a tough test in the ICC World Twenty20 clash with Pakistan at the Oval after their shock loss to the Netherlands.
After the Friday’s stunning four-wicket defeat at the Lord’s, England cannot afford to lose this match if they want to progress to the second round Super Eight phase.
England had left out off-spinner Graeme Swann and all-rounder Dimitri Mascarenhas from their team that played the Dutch while star batsman Kevin Pietersen was ruled out with an Achilles tendon injury.
Teams:
England: PD Collingwood(c), JM Anderson, RS Bopara, SCJ Broad, JS Foster(wk), RWT Key, AD Mascarenhas, EJG Morgan, GR Napier, KP Pietersen, AU Rashid, OA Shah, RJ Sidebottom, GP Swann, LJ Wright
Pakistan: Younis Khan(c), Ahmed Shehzad, Fawad Alam, Iftikhar Anjum, Kamran Akmal(wk), Misbah-ul-Haq, Mohammad Aamer, Saeed Ajmal, Salman Butt, Shahid Afridi, Shahzaib Hasan, Shoaib Malik, Sohail Tanvir, Umar Gul, Yasir Arafat
