The ODI series ended up 4-1 in England's favour but it was Pakistan who had the last laugh. SARFRAZ THE SAVIOUR Sarfraz Ahmed was the highest-scorer from either side in the ODI series. Despite this win, the Men-in-Green are ranked ninth in the ICC ODI team rankings and face an uphill task from here on to automatically qualify for the 2019 World Cup. (Pakistan sink to lowest-ever rating in latest ICC ODI rankings)Given these drawbacks for Pakistan to chase down a 300-plus target is still commendable. Pakistan cricket is at its absolute best when they play with a free state of mind like they have nothing to lose.
