Toss England chose to bat v Pakistan

Captain Heather Knight won the toss and elected to bat against Pakistan in sunny conditions in Newlands as England look to complete an unbeaten group phase ahead of the semi-finals.

England are almost assured of securing top spot in Group 2, where they currently hold a sizeable net run rate advantage over India with a game in hand.

They can avoid defending champions Australia in the semi-finals if they expectedly clinch the group's top spot.

England's opponent won't be determined until after the later Group 1 match between South Africa and Bangladesh in the final fixture of the group stages.

For Pakistan, it is a dead rubber. A heartbreaking three-run defeat to West Indies on Sunday ended their hopes of progressing to the knockout stage.

England hold a commanding 13-1 record against Pakistan in T20Is, including winning the past eight matches between the teams.
