Pakistan ODI skipper Azhar Ali has expressed that his side will definitely win the must-win match against England if they perform to their full potential.

Pakistan are currently trailing 1-2 in the four match ODI series and they will have to win the fourth ODI on Friday in Dubai to level the series.

Azhar said that each player in his team realise the importance of the match and, therefore, they would work harder to win it, the Dawn reported.

The skipper, however, admitted that it would not be easy to win the game as the opponents performed extremely well in the last two ODIs.

The 30-year-old succeeded Misbah-ul-Haq as ODI skipper following the latter's retirement after this year's World Cup.

But, Azhar said that he didn't have any fear of losing his job and insisted that he focuses on doing his duty sincerely.
