On Sunday, Pakistan and England are all set to battle it out for one last time in the T20I series. It has been a close contest so far as both the teams have won 3 games a piece.

England's destructive middle order batter, Ben Duckett, who is not part of the Three Lions' T20 World Cup squad has had a successful tour of Pakistan. He is England's leading run scorer in the series with 203 runs, with an average in excess of 50.

According to the southpaw, England's winner-takes-all finale with Pakistan provides a perfect preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup.


"It should really go into the final as both the teams have been pretty good. For the World Cup squad, it's really good to play in a must win games, and even when we didn't get over the line here - you learn more about these games than the ones that you win," Duckett said.

For the series decider, England will most likely recall Mark Wood and Chris Woakes back in the playing XI. Whereas, Mohammad Rizwan and Haris Rauf will come in for the hosts.
