England have won the toss and captain Moeen Ali has invited Pakistan to bat at the National Stadium Karachi Sunday.
This is the fourth and the final match at the venue before the action will move to Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium.
Pakistan, who suffered a crushing 63-run defeat on Friday, have made two changes in their line-up, with Asif Ali returning into the side for the first time since the Asia Cup final. He replaces Haider Ali.
Apart from him, pacer Mohammad Wasim Jr, who missed the entire Asia Cup, is replacing Shahnawaz Dahani.
Meanwhile, England have made three changes in their winning combination as batter David Malan is benched for Alex Hales, debutant Olly Stones, who hasn’t played since June due to finger injury, is replacing Mark Wood.
Meanwhile, David Willey has replaced Sam Curran for the game.
“It looks like it gets better under lights,” Moeen said while speaking at the toss. “We believe if a team gets 200 we are good enough to get more than that, but have to get early wickets and put them under pressure.”
