England would like to maintain the winning momentum and cap off their fightback with an emphatic series win against a struggling Pakistan as the two teams head to the Dubai International Cricket Stadium for the fourth and the final One-Day International (ODI) on Friday (November 20).
Pakistan, on the other hand, find themselves in a do-or-die situation after having given England a chance to script a phenomenal come-from-behind series lead. Trailing 2-1 in the series, the hosts would be looking to salvage some pride in the final game to draw the four-match contest at a venue which hasn't particularly been a happy hunting ground for the 'hosts'.
Pakistan have played 14 ODIs in Dubai since 2010 and have a 6-8 win-loss record. England incidentally have a cent percent record at this venue, having defeated Pakistan on both occasions the two teams clashed in February 2012.
