ADELAIDE: Pakistan will face England in their second warm-up match for the World Cup. Pakistan won their first match against Bangladesh by three wickets on Monday.

The match against England will be Pakistan’s last warm-up game and an opportunity to finalise the line up for the team’s World Cup opener against India on February 15.

In the match against Bangladesh, Sohaib Maqsood spared Pakistan's blushes by hitting an unbeaten 93 to secure the team's three-wicket victory.

Maqsood's 90-ball knock took Pakistan home with 11 balls to spare but their top order looked far from convincing as they chased 247 runs for victory.
