England crush pakistan by 48 runs to jump to a second step and becomes the first team who confirm the berth. Pakistan won the toss and elected to field first, England start was not good. Ravi Bopara was brilliantly caught by Shoaib malik but later on Pakistan fielding was pathetic which allowed England to post a huge toptal of 185 in which Kevin Peterson was the star batsman for England side. Pakistan dropped four catches along with few miss fieldings in a few over match.
Pakistan batting was never able to follow that big total on a bouncy pitch. Non of the batsman impress and posed danger on opponent. They succumb to defeat by 48 runs which is a big margin win and they will have to struggle for their survival in a next match with Netherlands.
