The Men in Green lost openers Kamran Akmal (11) and Sharjeel Khan (13) early.

But a 121-run partnership between Sohaib Maqsood and Shoaib Malik laid the foundation for Pakistan to post a big total.

Skipper Misbah-ul-Haq, who is leading the side in Younis Khan, stepped up with 14-ball 23* while Abdul Razzaq hit 9-ball 20*.

Pakistan bagged an early dismissal of England captain Kevin Pietersen (4) while defending 197-run target. 

Meanwhile, Phil Mustard held one end to keep England in the game. Ian Bell (11) was the second man to depart courtesy of Yasir Arafat's run out.

Mustard (34) departed as he looked to accelerate while Kevin O'Brien (24) was clean bowled by Shoaib Malik.

No other batters clicked with Pakistan taking wickets at regular intervals. England wee bowled out for 117.

Saeed Ajmal took three while Abdul Razzaq bagged two. Shoaib Malik, Sohail Khan and Aamer Yamin took a wicket each.

It must be noted that top four teams will qualify for the semi-finals. Pakistan are at the top of the points table with 8 points followed by Australia and India at second and third with four points each. England are at fourth with two points.
