England vs Pakistan Predictions

Pakistan must win this to level the series after the third T20 rained out. Both sides will however be keen on getting a game with time running out ahead of the World Cup.

I am backing Buttler to score runs in an England win.

England lead the series 1-0.
England have won their last 4 T20I against Pakistan.
England’s Jos Buttler scored 83 runs in his last T20I match.

Head to Head

England have won their last four completed T20I matches against Pakistan, including the last T20I World Cup final.

England Form

After the first T20I was rained out, England managed a 23-run win in the second game against Pakistan. The third match again saw a no result due to the weather.

Batting first in the 2nd T20I, Jos Buttler lead the charge, smashing his way to 84 off 51 balls. Will Jacks contributed 37 runs before the middle to lower order failed to captilise on the superb start.

Nevertheless, 183 was still a formidable total, especially after two early Pakistan wickets. Babar Azam (32) and Fakhar Zaman (45) recovered the situation somewhat, but the visitors just didn’t have the batting depth to continue once they were dismissed.

With the World Cup just days away, England are set to make wholesale changes to their side.

Pakistan Form

Pakistan will be disappointed with their defeat in the 2nd T20I, but they have the ability to bounce back and level the series.

The bowlers struggled initially, allowing the hosts to get off to a flying start. They pulled it back later on with Imad Wasim producing superb figures of 2-19 in four overs.

The target of 183 was certainly chasable on a good pitch but Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayub fell early, making life tough for the middle order. Babar Azam was watchful for his 32 runs while Fakhar Zaman kept the scoreboard ticking with 45 off 21 balls.

Once they were dismissed, Imad Wasim slashed 22 off 13 balls but the wickets kept falling and Pakistan were eventually all out for 160 runs.

Like England, Pakistan are likely to fiddle with their side as this is preparation for the World Cup. Fakhar Zaman may move up to open the batting while Babar is another choice to get the innings started.

Verdict

Jos Buttler is backed to get among the runs for England while Fakhar Zaman can do the same for the visitors.
