ENG vs PAK Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Head to Head Stats and Pitch Report for ODI World Cup 2023, Match 44
England (ENG) will be up against Pakistan (PAK) in Match 44 of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 at the iconic Eden Gardens in the ‘City of Joy’ on Saturday, November 11. Both these teams have had a terrible campaign so far despite coming into the tournament as one of the favourites. England have already been eliminated while Pakistan is virtually out of the race as well. They will need a miracle to topple New Zealand from the fourth spot and qualify for the semi-finals.
The situation is such that if they bat first and make 300, they will have to bowl out Jos Buttler and Co. for just 13 runs. If they bat second, they must chase the total down in approximately 2.5 overs. Both these situations are unrealistic, to say the least. This game has stakes for England though as they need a win to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy.

ENG vs PAK Weather and Pitch Report
The Eden Gardens pitch has been favouring bowlers in recent matches, with only India managing to score 300 or more. However, for the upcoming England vs Pakistan match, curator Sujan Mukherjee has predicted a good batting track on a fresh wicket. “The track is offering spin and behaving differently because of dew this time around. I’m not sure how much grass will be kept, there’s still some time left for the match,” he was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India. Meanwhile, the weather forecast looks pretty good and there shouldn’t be any interruption during the game.
