The first game between England (ENG) and Pakistan (PAK) was rained out, making the series a three-game affair. It is a key series for both sides as they want to get ready for the upcoming T20 World Cup, which begins in a few days. With the amount of cricket some of the players have played in the IPL, the series will be an added advantage for the hosts, who are also the defending champions.

England (ENG) would have wanted to play all four games to ascertain their players' fitness. Jofra Archer, in particular, will be the focus as the right-arm fast bowler is making his long-awaited return to competitive cricket. The rest of the players have been busy with the IPL and have had match practice for the last two months.

Pakistan (PAK), too, have been playing T20 cricket recently. They still have to name their team for the T20 World Cup, and this game is the last chance for many of the players to show their worth to the team. Babar Azam and the entire Pakistani coaching staff will want to have a closer look at some of the younger players before making a call.

Pitch Report

The pitch Birmingham has favored the team batting first as the ball swings lesser during the evening time. Under the lights the ball tends to hurry the batters and make it difficult for run-scoring. With boundaries on the shorter side expect a good amount of runs to be scored.

Player Picks

6.5
C

Philip Salt ENG | WK

Phil Salt has been having a memorable run with the bat in the last few weeks. His exploits during the IPL 2024 season makes him one of the most dangerous openers in the world.

9
C

Babar Azam PAK | BAT

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam has been at the forrfront of the run-scoring for his side. The 29-year-old has been in great nick in the last few months and his move to number 3 in the batting order makes it dangerous for teams across the world.

8

Jonny Bairstow ENG | WK

One of the most dangerous players for the Pakistani bowling unit will be Jonny Bairstow who ended his IPL 2024 journey with a run of high scores.

9

Shaheen Afridi PAK | BOWL

Pakistani pace sensation Shaheen Afridi will relish bowling in the conditions that England has to offer with nautral swing and seam. The 23-year-old will be handful for many batters with the ball coming into the batter making it difficult to play.

8.5

Moeen Ali ENG | ALL

England all-rounder Moeen Ali didn't have a great start to his IPL 2024 season but once he found his form Moeen Ali was a key part of the CSK side. The veteran star who is on the last legs of his England career will want to do well and put in some memorable performances.

8

Saim Ayub PAK | BAT

The Pakistani opener has all the talents in the world but his recent run of form has shown a lot of inconsistencies. If Saim Ayub gets going we could be in for an interesting contest on our hands.

9

Jofra Archer

ENG | BOWL

It is a welcome sight for many cricket fans as Jofra Archer finally looks to put his injury filled past behind and come back to cricket. Despite his talents his performances with the ball in international will need some time and a lot of efforts for the pacer to get back to his best.

8.5

Shadab Khan

PAK | ALL

The Pakistani star has been in the middle of terrible form with the bat and has been expensive with the ball. If Pakistan have to do well in the next few weeks, the form of Shadab Khan is essential.
