PAK vs ENG match
Pakistan will aim back and do well against the home team. Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, and all-rounder Moeen Ali scored most of the runs. Notably, regular skipper Jos Buttler will miss the third T20I due to paternity leave. Therefore, Moeen Ali took the lead in his absence.
This means England will face all-rounder Sam Curran, which could pressure Jonny Bairstow to open the match with Phil Salter.
Pakistan, on the other hand, will include pacers Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Amir and Haris Rauf and spinners Imad Wasim and Abra Ahmed to destroy England in the batting line.

PAK vs ENG Pitch Report
The pitch at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff must demonstrate speed and quickness. There may be some seam movement at first due to the wet environment, which will be beneficial for quick bowls.
However, as the match progresses, the environment is expected to turn into a beautiful batting field. It is worth noting that Cardiff pitches tend to retain moisture and often does not dry out at times, also reducing spinners significant turn.
Best Batter: Will Jacks
Talented batsman Will Jacks had a great IPL 2024 campaign for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He was at his best when he took the Gujarat Titans bowlers to the cleaners and scored his maiden IPL century. He is expected to be in trouble if he plays in future T20Is as Pakistan’s spin team has been underperforming and the Jacks have punished the quality of their spin team.
Best Bowler: Shaheen Shah Afridi
Shaheen Shah Afridi emerged as Pakistan’s best bowler in the last match, taking three wickets and scoring 36 runs in four overs. As a left-arm player, he has the potential to be very good in the early stages of the game. Cloudy weather will make him quicker and make him a strong contender for Pakistan’s first wickets.
