Pakistan vs England

Pakistan (Match Odds – 1.95):

Preview:

The hosts may make one change to their starting lineup, inserting Muhammad Haris in place of Haider Ali, who has struggled with the bat.

The onus will be on the openers Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shan Masood, Mohammad Haris, Asif Ali, and all-rounders Iftikhar Ahmed and Shadab Khan to deliver the bulk of the runs in the batting department.

In the previous match, wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan hit his fourth half-century of the T20I series and anchored 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 onus will be on pacers Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Wasim Jr., Haris Rauf, and spinners Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed to provide crucial breakthroughs in this match.

Iftikhar Ahmed and Shadab Khan bowled well in the previous match, conceding less than 45 runs in eight overs bowled between them.

Full Squad:

Mohammad Rizwan(w), Babar Azam(c), Shan Masood, Haider Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Asif Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Aamer Jamal, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Haris Rauf, Usman Qadir, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Haris, Shahnawaz Dahani, Abrar Ahmed

Players to watch out for:

Mohammad Rizwan

In T20Is this month, the keeper-batter has scored 553 runs at an average of 69.12. On Wednesday, he hit five home runs.

Shadab Khan

After being rested for the first five games, the vice-captain returned to the Pakistan XI and hit a six off the first ball he faced. He also got a crucial wicket in the form of form-batter Harry Brook.

Haris Rauf

The Pakistan pace bowler leads the series in wickets with eight from five matches. In the game on Wednesday, he dismissed Phil Salt and Chris Woakes.

Possible Playing XI:

Babar Azam (c), Shan Masood, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Haris/Haider Ali, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Aamer Jamal, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Haris Rauf

England (Match Odds – 1.85):

Preview:

The visitors may make one change, with Liam Dawson replacing Adil Rashid, who struggled to make an impact in the middle overs of the innings yet again.

In the previous game, England’s inclusion of all-rounder Sam Curran and pacer David Willey worked well.

Captain Moeen Ali, rookie opener Phil Salt, Alex Hales, and the middle-order trio of Dawid Malan, Ben Duckett, and Harry Brook will be tasked with scoring the majority of the runs in this crucial match.

In the previous match, England’s skipper Moeen Ali scored a valiant half-century in a losing cause. He batted brilliantly and finished 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 played well, scoring 36 runs off 35 balls with six fours.

The pace quartet of Sam Curran, David Willey, Mark Wood, and Chris Woakes will be relied on to deliver timely breakthroughs in the bowling department.

Pacer Mark Wood was the pick of the bowlers in the previous match, finishing with figures of 3 for 20 in four overs. Aside from Wood, Sam Curran bowled well, taking 2 for 23 in four overs, and David Wiley continued his excellent form with the new ball, picking up wickets of Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed.

Full Squad:

Philip Salt(w), Alex Hales, Dawid Malan, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali(c), Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Olly Stone, Reece Topley, Tom Helm, Luke Wood, Richard Gleeson, Jordan Cox

Players to watch out for:

Alex Hales

The 33-year-old right-handed starter started the series with a half-century but has only allowed 32 runs in the next three innings.

Moeen Ali

The all-rounder scored 51 not out from 37 balls, but his team fell short on Wednesday. He did not bowl in the fifth T20I, but we anticipate that he will do so in this match.

Mark Wood

The quick bowler returned to the squad after impressing in Karachi on Friday. In the game on Wednesday, he dismissed Babar Azam, Haider Ali, and Asif Ali.

Possible Playing XI:

Philip Salt (wk), Alex Hales, Dawid Malan, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali (c), Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, David Willey, Adil Rashid/Liam Dawson, Mark Wood

Pakistan vs England Toss Prediction

Both teams will want to bowl first on this surface in order to limit the opposition to less than 130 runs. The previous match at Gaddafi Stadium was won by the team that batted first.

Pakistan vs England Pitch Report

The sixth T20I of the series between England and Pakistan will be played at the Gaddafi Cricket Stadium in Lahore. Pakistan will be encouraged by the fact that they have won both of their previous matches against England.

The wicket at Gaddafi Stadium may have uneven bounce because batsmen will need to stay at the crease for a long time in order to make a big score. The forecast for Friday’s game is clear skies with a 58% humidity.

Pakistan vs England Prediction

Despite Pakistan’s back-to-back victories, the series is still alive, with two matches remaining in Lahore. The home team won the second, fourth, and fifth T20Is by 10 wickets, 3 runs, and 6 runs, respectively, while England won the first and third games of the T20I series. Moeen Ali, the visiting captain, will be hoping that experienced players can deliver in order to level the T20I series.

On Friday, England is expected to win a hard-fought match against Pakistan to tie the seven-match T20I series. Check out the odds at Cricbaba!

England is the favourite to beat Pakistan at the odds of 1.85.
