ENG vs PAK Match Prediction - Oct 17, 2022

England will take on Pakistan at The Gabba for a warm-up match, as both teams continue with their preparations for the upcoming T20 World cup. Both teams have been in action in the leadup to the World Cup and so you may seem them rest a few players. 

Also, remeber not to take the results of the warmup matches too seriously as teams very rarely give it their all. <br />  

ENG vs PAK Team Previews

England

England, currently ranked second in the T20 rankings by the ICC, looks in pretty good shape as it heads toward the marquee event. After beating Pakistan 4-3 in its backyard in the 7-match T20 series, England landed in Australia to take on the hosts in a 3-match series. While the last game was washed out, England had already won the first two games and went on to clinch its second consecutive series win.

Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan seem to have hit top form at just the right time, with the former hitting two half-centuries in the 3 matches against Australia. Power hitters like Alec Hales and Ben Stokes too are likely to play an important role in England’s journey toward supremacy in the shortest format of cricket. On the bowling front, a lot will depend on the performance of Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid. All in all, the England team has all the right ingredients to lift the T20 Cup for a second time. 

England Playing 11

AD Hales, AU Rashid, Ben Stokes, Chris Jordan, Chris Woakes, Dawid Malan, David Willey, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Mark Wood, Philip Salt, Reece Topley, Sam Curran.


Pakistan

After losing a closely fought series against England, Pakistan seems to have made some amends during its preparations for the World Cup. The team has won 4 of its last 5 matches in a one-off tournament against Bangladesh and New Zealand, including the finals against the Black Caps. Pakistan chased down a target of 163 with relative ease, thanks to a solid performance by its middle order.

Mohammed Rizwan and Babar Azam are ranked 1st and 3rd on the T20 batsmen’s list, and a lot will depend on them if Pakistan were to make it to the next stage. On the bowling front, all eyes will be on the youngster Naseem Shah, who bowled some excellent spells during the Asia Cup. Pakistan has been known to falter in key situations. If they can perform consistently, they are one of the strongest contenders for lifting the title. <br />

Pitch and Conditions

The Gabba pitch has been known to aid fast bowlers, who are likely to get some movement off the seam. The weather forecast for Monday shows overcast conditions, along with chances of showers throughout the day. We might therefore see a shortened match or even an abandonment. The average first innings score in T20s is 168. However, anything above 150 will be difficult to chase. 

ENG vs PAK Betting Tips

We are backing England to win this one. Having beaten both, Pakistan and Australia in their backyard would have had a positive impact on the players’ confidence. Also, the English batsmen will be better adapted to the overcast conditions at the Gabba.

Bet on an England win.
