England and Pakistan will lock horns in first of five one-day internationals at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton on Wednesday.
The men in green come into the series with high confidence following a commanding 1-0 win over Ireland.
Opening batsman Sharjeel Khan struck a whirlwind 152 off 82 balls as Pakistan drubbed Ireland by 255 runs in Dublin last week to register their biggest win in ODI history.
Their second ODI at the same venue was abandoned without a ball bowled due to rain.
Pakistan are currently ranked ninth in ICC ODI ranking, and a series victory against England would be a major step towards their mission of earning an automatic qualification for ICC World Cup 2019.
