“There are some wonderful players in there, so you know they are a very dangerous team, and you gotta make sure that you are right on top of your game when it comes to the big final,” said Root.
The Englishman said Pakistan have got some brilliant match-winners within their team, lauding both their batting and bowling line-up.
“They have got some brilliant match-winners within their team; some brilliant bowling outfit, and some very talented batters,” Root added.
Root also heaped praise on Pakistan’s openers Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, saying the two have been consistent for Pakistan over an extended period of time.
“Lot spoken about the two lads at the top [Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan], and how consistent they have been in this format for an extended period,” said Root.
The 31-year-old said England peaked at the right time, with a complete performance against India in the semi-finals.
“Incredible performance. They [England] peaked at the right time. I think you have seen the best of the team until now,” said Root.
He hailed Jos Buttler and Alex Hales for their performance against India, who helped England reach the finals.
“What a performance from the two up the order [Jos Buttler and Alex Hales] and great work from the bowlers to restrict India to the target. As a team performance, you can’t ask for any more in a semi-final to stand up to the pressures of it in a game of that magnitude and perform like that is exceptional,” Root added.
