England vs Pakistan, World Cup 2019: Archer's battle with Babar Azam will be one to watch out for
England are coming off a win, while Pakistan will be searching for their first points
Hosts England will once again be in action in the ICC World Cup 2019 on Monday when they take on Pakistan at Trent Bridge. Heavily touted as favourites, the Eoin Morgan-led team will want to gain 2 points more as they face the Men in Green, who were humbled in their opener.
The battle between Jofra Archer, who showed why he is held in such high regards, and Babar Azam will be the key battle for this game. Archer got the ball to swing on a sluggish track at a deadly trajectory to finish with 3 for 27 in seven overs against South Africa. A new addition to England's side, Archer has played 2 games against Pakistan and has picked up 2 wickets, though he is yet to get Azam out.
The premier batter will have to be at his utmost best against Archer, especially if there is an early loss of wicket. Hopes will hinge on him yet again, and if he can get a way to navigate through Archer's overs, Pakistan will have a strong foothold in the clash.
