Multan is set to host the second test match between Pakistan and England from 15-19 October 2024. England leads the series by a 1-0 margin as they defeated the Pakistan team rather embarrassingly in the 1st encounter. The Shan Masood-led team is still recovering from the first test loss as the team’s management is hastily making changes in the squad in an attempt to enhance the overall team performance by breaking the curse of no victory for the Pakistani team at home ground in over 3 years. Will the men in green be able to achieve that? I guess we will have to wait to find out!

Team Analysis
The English team is in great spirits as their batsmen rejoice their phenomenal and record-breaking performances in the first match. Harry Brook, Zak Crawley, Joe Root and Ben Dukett are few of the famous names in the English squad who are not afraid to put quick runs on the scoreboard even in test matches. Joe Root and Harry Brook proved their worth in the latest test encounter where the duo put together a hefty 454 runs partnership.
Jack Leah is yet another asset for the England cricket team. Leach took a total of 7 wickets in the 1st match and was praised worldwide for this amazing feat. Gus Atkinson is also enjoying his time bowling at Pakistani pitches and can provide important breakthroughs for his team in challenging times.
The Pakistan cricket team is at one of their lowest test ranking in history with being at number# 9 position. The main weakness in the squad is the very timid and out-of-form bowling unit. Naseem and Shaheen, the main Pakistani pacers are struggling in maintaining their pace and rhythm and this has led to poorer economy and inability to take wickets. Agha Salman and Abrar Ahmed are the only two players who have been performing comparatively better but their efforts have been fruitless as it didn’t bore them the desired result.
Match Insights And Conclusion
Ben Stokes is most likely to return back in this second test match and resume his duties as the English captain. Return of Stokes is definitely nit a good news for the already struggling Pakistani team. The key impact players for this second test match are Gus Atkinson, Joe Root, and Abrar Ahmed.
