Kolkata gears up for the ENG vs PAK match on November 11 at 2 pm IST. While England faces elimination after a five-match losing streak, Pakistan seeks victory to stay in the semi-final race. Having previously triumphed over Bangladesh in Kolkata, Pakistan holds a strategic advantage in understanding the pitch dynamics. Conversely, England's struggles, especially against spin, make them vulnerable. 

In this must-win clash, Pakistan's spinners aim to capitalize on England's weakness, intensifying the stakes for both teams in this crucial encounter.
