Preview:

Despite losing their first match, the Men in Green will not change their starting lineup.

Batting, the onus will be on Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Shan Masood, Haider Ali, and Iftikhar Ahmed to deliver the majority of the runs in this match.

In the previous game, opener Mohammad Rizwan performed admirably, finishing the innings with a top-score of 68 runs off 46 balls, thanks to six fours and two sixes. He was well supported by Babar Azam and Iftikhar Ah, who scored 31 and 28 points, respectively.

The bowling attack will be heavily reliant on the pace trio of Shahnawaz Dahani, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf to provide timely breakthroughs. Usman Qadir, Pakistan’s leg-spinner, was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with figures of 2 for 36 in four overs.

Full Squad:

Mohammad Rizwan(w), Babar Azam(c), Haider Ali, Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Nawaz, Usman Qadir, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Shahnawaz Dahani, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Haris, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Aamer Jamal

Players to watch out for:

Mohammad Rizwan

Pakistan’s keeper-batter has been on an extended run of form at the top of the order. In Tuesday’s innings, he hit six fours and two sixes.

Babar Azam

In his first T20I innings, the right-handed opener and captain looked far better than he had throughout the Asia Cup. Before being bowled by Adil Rashid, he shared an opening partnership of 85 runs.

Haris Rauf

Haris Rauf, 28, has been Pakistan’s most consistent bowler in recent games. He was the most economical of the pacers, dismissing Alex Hales in the series opener.

Possible Playing XI:

Babar Azam (captain), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Haider Ali, Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Nawaz, Usman Qadir, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Shahnawaz Dahani

England (Match Odds – 2.10):

Preview:

The visitors will be eager to maintain their bat-and-ball standards against Pakistan in the second T20I of the series.

The team will be led by in-form opener Alex Hales, who scored 53 runs off 40 balls in the previous game, which was played in Karachi. Rookie batsman Harry Brook batted brilliantly, scoring 42 not out off 25 balls with seven boundaries.

The pace trio of David Willey, Luke Wood, and Sam Curran will need to deliver crucial breakthroughs with the new ball. In this game, the spin duo of Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali will need to pick up crucial wickets for the team.

Luke Wood was the pick of the bowlers in England’s T20 debut, finishing with figures of 3 for 24 in four overs. Apart from Wood, leg-spinner Adil Rashid bowled well, taking 2 for 27 in four overs.

Full Squad:

Philip Salt(w), Alex Hales, Dawid Malan, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali(c), Sam Curran, David Willey, Luke Wood, Adil Rashid, Richard Gleeson, Liam Dawson, Olly Stone, Will Jacks, Jordan Cox, Tom Helm

Players to watch out for:

Alex Hales

The right-handed opener returned to the international stage with a bang, scoring 53 runs off 40 balls. This was his first international half-century since February of this year.

Dawid Malan

The left-handed number three appeared unconcerned throughout his 15-pitch outing on Tuesday. His innings was cut short by a simple dismissal, and he will look to make it count in this match.

Adil Rashid

The spinner led England’s bowling attack in the first game of the series. He took the decisive wickets of Babar Azam and Shan Masood.

Possible Playing XI:

Moeen Ali (captain), Sam Curran, David Willey, Alex Hales, Philip Salt (wk), Dawid Malan, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Luke Wood, Adil Rashid, Richard Gleeson i
