Pakistan eye comeback after demoralizing defeat in ODIs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

England will face Pakistan in the three-match T20I series<\/a>, starting from Friday in Nottingham.<\/p>\n

The home team will be coming into this series with high confidence after securing an impressive whitewash in the recently concluded ODI series against the same opposition.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the team management will be hoping that the players will continues to produce a match-winning display.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the visitors will be coming into this contest extremely low on confidence, especially after suffering a series sweep against an inexperienced England team who were selected just 48 hours before the first ODI, after seven members of the original squad tested positive for Covid-19.<\/p>\n

The management will be hoping that players will be able to turn things around and produce a much better display in the upcoming T20I series.<\/p>\n

Both teams have competed in 18 matches in the history of T20Is where England have a clear advantage with 11 wins compared to Pakistan’s five victories.<\/p>\n

England Team News<\/b><\/h2>\n

Despite a comfortable win in the ODI series, England have announced a stronger squad with as many as 11 changes.<\/p>\n

In the batting department, the home team will be relying on the likes of captain Eoin Morgan, explosive opening batsman Jason Roy, star wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow to score bulk of the runs.<\/p>\n

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Chris Jordan, Saqib Mahmood, David Willey and leg-spinner Adil Rashid to produce timely breakthroughs.<\/p>\n

Pakistan Team News<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After suffering a humiliating defeat against a weakened England side, Pakistan are likely to go in with full force and make some notable changes as well.<\/p>\n

The most concerning aspect for the team management will be the performance of players who have been playing international cricket for a while but yet could not compete in any department; that too against a bunch of players who had less than 48 hours to participate in the recently concluded series.<\/p>\n

The return of experienced duo of all-rounders Mohammad Hafeez and Imad Wasim will be a major boost for the team.<\/p>\n

In the batting department, the Green Caps will be heavily relying on the likes of in-form captain Babar Azam, dangerous Sohaib Maqsood and Hafeez to score bulk of the runs and give the bowlers something to bowl with.<\/p>\n

The fitness of star wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan is a concern after he suffered an injury while keeping in the third ODI.<\/p>\n

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Hasan Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf and leg-spinner Usman Qadir to produce timely breakthroughs.<\/p>\n

Predictions: <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Both teams will be taking this series very seriously in a bid to prepare for the upcoming International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup which is set to be organised later this year in the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

On paper, Pakistan look a far more settled side compared to their opponents but a thumping defeat in the recently concluded ODI series is likely to have a serious impact on the outcome of the contest.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the prediction is for England to continue their winning run and secure a T20I series triumph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
