Pakistani captain despite having all the basics right of the game has been found struggling against the left-arm seamers through inswinger over the wicket, Sam Curran can be a great threat for him.

Muhammad Rizwan after failing initially has got his form towards the end with a couple of fifties, although Chris Woakes will check up on him to restrict the top T20I batter to give England a crucial edge.

England’s best batter will be up against Pakistan’s best man with the ball and their powerplay opening encounter will be a treat for every cricket lover tomorrow at the high-intensity game.

Liam Livingstone loves to charge against spinners and if he meets toward the middle of England’s batting, Pakistan’s best man Shadab Khan will put in all the experience he holds to get rid of him.

Alex Hales is the great talking point ahead of the key final match owing to his fearless gameplay, however, his biggest test will be against the pace of Haris Rauf at the crucial final game.

Overall it is expected to be a great battle of cricket where the two in-form sides will look ahead to give all they have in the greatest T20I battles of nations.
