Emirates Old Trafford – Manchester, England

ENG VS PAK PREDICTION: Who will win?

The T20I series between England and Pakistan is heading towards the series decider as both the teams meet once again in Old Trafford after a gap of one day. The hosts England performed way ahead of the visitors in the last T20I and are sure shot favourites to win the series 2-0. The English batting unit which has all the required ammunition for the shorter format of the game is making the job extremely difficult for the Pakistan bowlers. To add to that, the fact that this England team bats deep down the order makes them a strong force in T20 cricket.

Pakistan, on the other hand, will be keen to mark a win in this series and will try out all possible methods to level this series. The word unpredictability is synonymous with the Pakistan cricket team. Despite the poor show in the last match, Pakistan has the match-winners among their squad to turn the fate of the match in just a matter of second. That being said, England still stays way head of Pakistan as favourites by normal human reasoning for online cricket betting.

England to win the match

• Openers Tom Banton and Jonny Bairstow are in great form. Both of them is once again expected to hammer the Pakistan bowling attack as per today match prediction.
• Pakistan team is low on confidence, Babar hasn’t lived up to captaincy expectations.
• Great depth in batting and seasoned T20 bowlers.

ENG VS PAK MATCH PREDICTION

The series decider of the ongoing T20I series between England and Pakistan presents contrasting challenges for both the teams. While for England, it’s about getting the team combinations right ahead of the T20 World Cup in India, for Pakistan it’s about bringing the team together under the new leadership of Babar Azam. After scoring above 190 runs in the last match, Pakistan failed miserably in the bowling department. The bowlers kept on feeding Morgan with full-length balls, which is his strength. Captain Babar too looked clueless on certain occasions, which further led to a lot of criticisms from Pakistan legends and media post the 2^nd T20I. All these will once again bother Pakistan ahead of the 3^rd T20I. So it won’t be of many surprises if they come up with their plan B for the series decider. Led by Babar from the front, their batting unit looked promising. The form of Hafeez with the bat is a positive sign as well. But a change or to can be expected in the bowling department, after the dismal show in the last match. Mohammad Amir, who got a slight injury in the last match may be replaced with veteran Wahab Riaz, in hope of levelling the series.

For England, the worries are less and the focus will be on to get the correct combination ahead of the T20 World Cup in India, and hence bowling all-rounder David Willey may get the nod ahead of Lewis Gregory for the series decider, simply due to the rotation policy. Morgan is also expected to persist with the same batting line-up.

Expert free tip opinion- The under pressure Pakistan captain Babar Azam will be the player to watch out for in the series decider. His contribution with the bat will decide Pakistan’s chances in this match.

Shadab Khan

Pakistan’s spin bowling all-rounder Shadab Khan is the second most important man in Pakistan eleven after Babar Azam.

He is expected to add more to his 5 wickets tally in this series.

Jonny Bairstow
