When we look at last season’s performance of both teams. The England Champions will surely not be proud of their performance as they finished bottom of the table. In the five matches they played, England lost four and were at the bottom of the points table. On the other hand, Pakistan was the runner-up team as they lost the finals to their arch-rivals India in a close final match.
