PAK vs ENG D11 Fantasy Team 1

Here is a suggested fantasy team 1 for the PAK vs ENG 4th ODI.

Captain: Joe Root
He has 614 runs at an average of 102.33 in his last 10 ODIs, the best form of anyone in this match. He bats long and rarely gets out cheaply, which makes him the safest captain on a slow Lahore pitch.

Vice-Captain: Haris Rauf
He has 19 wickets at an economy of 5.2 in his last 9 ODIs, the most of any bowler in this match. Pakistan’s fast bowlers have taken most of the wickets in this series, and Rauf usually bowls in the key overs, both early and at the death.

PAK vs ENG D11 Fantasy Team 2

Here are the key details for the PAK vs ENG 4th ODI.

Captain: Shaheen Shah Afridi
He took 3 wickets in both of the last two ODIs at Lahore in June, and 3 more against Sri Lanka in this series. He has 15 wickets at an economy under 5 in his last 9 ODIs. Very few people will pick him as captain over Root, which is what makes this team different.

Vice-Captain: Harry Brook
He has 561 runs at a strike rate of 128.66. On a good day, he scores faster than anyone in this match, which means more fantasy points.

PAK vs ENG Pitch Report – Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore

Lahore can play in two very different ways. In the 2025 Champions Trophy, teams scored big here, with totals like 351, 356 and 362. But the last two ODIs here in June 2026 were very different.

In June, the pitches were slow and low, with cracks that helped spinners. Australia made 231/9 in one game and only 157 in the other. The ICC first rated one of those pitches “unsatisfactory,” but later took back the penalty after an appeal.

So the strip used on match day matters a lot. If it plays like June, 230-250 could be a good score, and spinners and slower balls will be key. If it’s flat like the Champions Trophy, 300+ is possible. The win record here is very close, with 46 wins batting first and 42 chasing.

PAK vs ENG Toss Prediction

Prediction: Bat first

The last ODIs in Lahore were played on slow pitches with cracks, and those pitches got harder to bat on later in the game. With a 1:00 PM local start, the afternoon should be the best time to bat. Dew in the evening is the one risk, as it could make chasing easier.

PAK vs ENG Today Match Prediction

Prediction: Pakistan to Win

Pakistan have won both their games and beat England by 87 runs just five days ago. Their bowling attack, with Rauf, Shaheen and spinner Arafat Minhas, suits a slow Lahore pitch well.

England have Joe Root and Harry Brook in great form, so they can’t be ruled out. But they’ve lost both games in this series, and Pakistan look more settled. Pakistan should make it three wins out of three.
