Pakistan vs England Match Prediction

Pakistan vs England Team Previews

Pakistan

Pakistan is not likely to make any alterations to their playing XI despite losing the first game. The ultimate responsibility will once again come under the star batters Babar and Rizwan to score the bulk of runs in the outing. Shan Masood, Haider Ali, and Iftikhar Ahmed are expected to score the most runs in this game. In the previous match, opener Mohammad Rizwan performed admirably, finishing the game with a highest score of 68 runs off 46 balls, thanks to six fours and two sixes. He was strongly helped by Babar Azam and Iftikhar Ah, who scored 31 and 28. The bowling attack will be highly dependent on the speed combination of Shahnawaz Dahani, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf to make crucial inroads. Usman Qadir, Pakistan’s leg-spinner, was the standout of the bowlers, finishing with statistics of 2 for 36 in four overs. Pakistan has followed a pattern that has been in place for a long period. It started brightly, with Mohammad Rizwan showing more aggressiveness, and Babar Azam also getting off to a good start, but the middle and lower order faltered.  The dramatic finale did not materialize, as Pakistan was left at least 20 runs behind. Whatever must have worried Pakistan the most was that their quick bowlers were ineffective. Sure, the odds were stacked against them, but that has traditionally been Pakistan’s specialty. The pace bowlers were capable of extracting more from surfaces than anybody else, although this was not evident in the first game. We do not really anticipate any alterations to the starting lineup for this game. Pakistan made a few alterations and is going to give this lineup more time.

England

The tourists will be eager to retain their bat-and-ball performances versus Pakistan in the second T20I as well. The team will be led by in-form striker Alex Hales, who hit 53 runs.  Rookie batsman Harry Brook batted brilliantly, scoring 42. The pace combination of David Willey, Luke Wood, and Sam Curran will have to make important successes and the spin combo of Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali will be required to pick up key wickets for the team. Luke Wood was the standout of the bowlers in England’s T20 debut, finishing with statistics of 3 for 24 in four overs. Apart from Wood, leg-spinner Adil Rashid bowled brilliantly, taking 2 for 27 in four overs.Mark Wood is making an attempt to comeback, although he will not play in all matches. England has so many talented people to choose from that they could pursue several multiple methods. With six games left to play, expect significant rotation to keep personnel strong and injury-free. England had been missing Jos Buttler in the recent game, but it did not stop them from playing their aggressive style of play. Phil Salt and Alex Hales made superb use of the new ball, taking their time once the field limits were released. England’s bowling unit was also not spectacular, but it was effective. Adil Rashid was outstanding, while Luke Wood benefited from some bad batting in the last overs. David Willey toiled and Moeen Ali was also costly.
