Pakistan vs England Match Prediction

Pakistan vs England Team Previews

Pakistan

The hosts may consider one alteration to their starting lineup, inserting Muhammad Haris in lieu of Haider Ali, who has struggled with the bat. The ultimate responsibility will be on the openers Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shan Masood, Mohammad Haris, Asif Ali, and all-rounders Iftikhar Ahmed and Shadab Khan to contribute the majority of the runs in the batting department. In the previous encounter, wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan hit his fourth half-century of the T20I series and led Pakistan’s innings as they scored 145 runs. Aside from Rizwan, Iftikhar Ahmed scored 15 runs off 14 balls, and debutant Aamer Jamal contributed 10 runs off seven balls. The ultimate responsibility will be on pacers Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Wasim Jr., Haris Rauf, and spinners Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed to deliver important inroads in this match. Iftikhar Ahmed and Shadab Khan bowled brilliantly in the last encounter, conceding less than 45 runs in eight overs played among them.

England

The tourists may make one alteration, with Liam Dawson replacing Adil Rashid, who managed to make an impression in the middle overs of the innings yet again. In the last match, England’s use of all-rounder Sam Curran and bowler David Willey worked effectively. Skipper Moeen Ali, rookie opener Phil Salt, Alex Hales, and the middle-order quartet of Dawid Malan, Ben Duckett, and Harry Brook will be tasked with scoring the majority of the runs in this critical match. In the previous game, England’s captain Moeen Ali scored a gallant half-century in a hopeless position. He batted brilliantly and concluded the innings with a top-score of 51 not out off 37 balls, thanks to two boundaries and four sixes. Aside from Moeen Ali, Dawid Malan batted brilliantly, scoring 36 runs off 35 balls with six fours. The speed four of Sam Curran, David Willey, Mark Wood, and Chris Woakes will be relied on to make timely inroads in the bowling attack. Fast bowler Mark Wood was the standout of the bowlers in the previous encounter, finishing with figures of 3 for 20 in four overs. Aside from Wood, Sam Curran bowled brilliantly, taking 2 for 23 in four overs, and David Wiley maintained his great run with the new ball, picking up wickets of Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed.
