PAK vs ENG Preview
- England suffered a three-match T20I series defeat against India earlier this summer.
- Pakistan just suffered a defeat to Sri Lanka in the United Arab Emirates 2022 Asia Cup final.
- In the T20 Format this year, Mohammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, and Naseem Shah have performed admirably for Pakistan.
On Tuesday night in Karachi, the first of seven IT20 matches pit Pakistan and England against one another. Since December 2005, England hasn’t traveled to play a game in Pakistan. When England lost their most recent IT20 series to South Africa earlier this month, the hosts advanced to the 2022 Asia Cup final. At 19:30 local time, the game gets underway at the National Stadium.
Despite having a varied Asia Cup record, Pakistan managed to defeat India by a margin of five wickets and advance to the championship game. They will be sure that they can defeat England at home.
Since losing in the 2021 T20 World Cup Semi-Final, England has seen a protracted stretch of bad performance in this format. Despite being an inexperienced team, they have several intriguing players.
