Pakistan will face Sri Lanka in the final of the triangular ODI series at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Saturday. Pakistan have never won a home ODI tournament featuring three or more teams and lost their previous three such finals in 1994, 2004 and 2024.
Head coach Mike Hesson said Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman remain central to Pakistan's plans. England finished bottom of the table after three defeats.
Sri Lanka beat Pakistan in the 2023 Asia Cup final. The India-New Zealand ODI series begins on November 4.
