Pakistan Clash with England in the 1st T20 match in Karachi on Tuesday, Sept 20, 2022.
The pitch at the National Stadium looks very hard, although the England players who have featured here in the PSL say it is likely to skid through. The weather is set to be hot and humid, and the crowd is set to be packed.
Team news
Masood is set to make his T20I debut in place of the injured Fakhar Zaman, having relaunched his credentials across formats in a stellar season for Derbyshire, while Rizwan is expected to be rested after his exertions at the Asia Cup.
Haris is the stand-in keeper, and could slot in at No.3 to allow the rest of the line-up to retain their usual batting positions.

Who said what
Moeen Ali resists the suggestion that England are fielding a weakened side.
“The only person that’s not here is Ben Stokes from the guys who could be. We still have a very good side. I don’t see it at all as a second-string team. It’s not through selection, it’s more through unfortunate injuries, but it gives opportunities for new players to come in.”
