Team Analysis
The Pakistani team under the captaincy of Babar Azam is in full spirits and exhilaration as they prepare themselves to face the former T20 Champions with one of their best team. Perhaps, the most obvious strength of the Pakistani squad is an incredibly lethal fast bowling unit. In the latest T20 World Cup, the Pakistani fast bowling trio composed of Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, and Shaheen Shah Afridi made several headlines over their superb performances. One can only imagine the havoc now that Mohammad Amir and Abbas Afridi have been added to this list. Another strength of the Pakistan team is an abundance of all-rounders like Usama Mir, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, and Imad Wasim.
However, despite a relatively stable team, Pakistan’s middle order tends to collapse in the most unexpected circumstances. This has been one of the major problems that the team has faced in the past decade. This was also the very deficiency that led to Pakistan’s only defeat against Ireland in the recent Pak vs Ire bilateral T20 series.
England’s team is also well put together, however, have few of the prominent names like Dawad Malan and Ben Stokes missing. However, Jofra Archer is back after a long hiatus and is desperate to showcase his talents. With a strong top-order and a stable middle order, England’s batting line-up will most likely challenge Pakistani pacers. However, the limited spin option in the England squad might prove to be costly for them in the long run.
Match Insights
Pak vs Eng live is expected to be a game full of action and drama. With the return of Haris Rauf, Jofra Archer, Naseem Shah, and Mohammad Amir, a lot of unexpected dismissals can be anticipated. The toss will play an important role in the outcome of this Pak vs Eng live match. In case the Pakistani skipper chooses to bowl first, they can limit the British team to a low target considering the variety of fast bowling and spin options that they have.
Conclusion
Fans are eagerly waiting for the 1st T20I between Pakistan and England as it might serve as an indication of the individual team’s preparation for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup in June 2024. For England Vs Pakistan Live Streaming, click on the links provided above.
