ABOUT THE MATCH

The team of Pakistan would want to level the three-match T20I series by winning the match, when Babar Azam led team will play against Eoin Morgan’s side for the last T20I match in Manchester at the Old Trafford on 1st September 2020.

Teams & Players’ performance Analysis:

England

Undoubtedly, England would like to continue its winning strategy. No, any other players are included in the team. Over a few decades, Eoin Morgan has been giving his outstanding performances in the limited-overs. When choosing a player behind the stumps, Jonny Bairstow of England is always at the top of the order. With highly sharp with the gloves, Bairstow has proved himself as a great value addition to the side with the bat.

England possible XI: Tom Banton, Jonny Bairstow(w), Dawid Malan, Eoin Morgan(c), Sam Billings, Moeen Ali, Tom Curran, Lewis Gregory, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood.

Pakistan

In the 3rd T20I match against England, team Pakistan prefers to select Wahab Riaz instead of Mohammad Amir, who had some kind of fitness problems in the last match. Afridi, the former Pakistan captain also criticized the team management for not including Wahab although he has a lot of experience in T20I cricket. In the last T20I, we can expect a couple of changes from the Pakistan side.

Pakistan possible XI:  Babar Azam (capt), Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir/Wahab Riaz, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf.

Pitch Report:

The surface is the same with the little help to the pacers at the starting of the match, but in this pitch, it is near to impossible to stop batsmen. The spinner can also get help from the track.

Weather condition:

After the 1st T20 match washout, we can expect clear conditions during the match on Tuesday.

Match Preview:

England:

  • In the England team, Sam Billings has been an extra wicket-keeper and is playing middle batsman role very easily.
  • In many T20 tournaments, Tom Banton is a common name including IPL. He is a fantastic opening batsman and in the power play, he plays very comfortably.
  • In the team, Chris Jordan will be the 1st choice. In this limited-overs format, he is very successful.

 Pakistan:

  • Most probably, Pakistan will pick Wahab Riaz in place of Mohammad Amir, who had a fitness problem in the last match. in the Wicket-keeping side, Mohammad Rizwan is quite impressive. He has completed every opportunity in the innings,
  • After placing the spot in the batting unit, Mohammad Hafeez has been a strong No.3 contender in the Pakistan limited-overs side. In the last match also, he played terrifically well.
  • Hope, Saqib Mahmood can learn from the mistakes he had done in the 2nd T20 match. No doubt that he is a fantastic player but still he is new to the international stage and now he can get all the room for improvement.
