CricStats Data Lean and Prediction
The CricStats model combines head-to-head results, recent win rates and venue history. On those inputs, England are slight favourites at 57%, with Pakistan at 43%.
| Input | Pakistan | England |
|---|
| Last 10 decisive meetings | 30% | 70% |

This is what the numbers suggest, not a certainty. Pakistan's stronger recent win rate and their latest result against England offset part of England's historical edge. The margin between the sides remains narrow.
