Pakistan wins toss, elects to field against England in tri-series ODI
LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) --- Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi won the toss and
elected to field in the cricket ODI tri-series match against England on Sunday.
England is searching for its first win in the tournament after losing to
Pakistan by 87 runs, before Sri Lanka chased down the second highest-ever ODI
total of 430 runs at Rawalpindi where captain Harry Brook's fastest-ever ODI
double century off 114 balls went in vain.
Pakistan also successfully defended against Sri Lanka to win the opening game
of the tri-series by 37 runs at Rawalpindi but made two changes for the first
game in the Lahore-leg of the tournament.
Fast bowler Razaullah made his ODI debut after Naseem Shah dislocated his
finger during the warm-up on Sunday. All-rounder Faheem Ashraf made way for
spin all-rounder Shadab Khan, who will be playing his first game in the
tri-series.
England also awarded an ODI debut to 25-year-old fast bowler bowler Henry
Crocombe, who was drafted in place of Josh Tongue in the only change made to
the side which was stunned by Sri Lanka last time out.
As part of a breast cancer awareness initiative, the Pakistan team wore pink
uniforms for Sunday's game.
