VENUE    : Old Trafford, Manchester

MATCH PREVIEW:

        After a while, T20 International is back and this time, it's a face off between two teams that have spots in the top 5 rankings of  ICC T20I, England vs Pakistan. In a 3 T20I matches series,first Match  will be played at Old Trafford on Friday,which is sure to be promising encounter.

        

        Considering England team they have a whole new team for this series which did not involve any player who have played test series with Pakistan. With Jason Roy been ruled out of this series, Tom Banton may be promoted to top order. England team,which occupies spot 2 in T20I ICC Rankings, is definitely favorites for this match and they are the most balanced team we have been observing since the World cup 2019.

        England will be playing with top order J.Bairstow backed by Captain E.Morgan,Tom Banton and middle order have some fire power of Dawid Malan, Sam Billings and Moeen Ali.Bowling attack will probably lead by Chris Jordan who had impressive records in T20I especially.Their bowling department also have David Willey and Adil Rashid.

        Now if we look at Pakistan team, the selected members for this T20I series consists of 5 players who had already played the test match against England earlier. PAK team consists of experienced players like Sarfaraz Ahmed,Shoaib Malik, M.Hafeez.Their Team is going to be lead by Babar Azam,who had played some good cricket especially in this short format.

        Although this series had been planned as a preparatory matches for T20I world cup,after several reschedules now both teams are on track to show us the crackling short format. Pakistan had played extraordinary T20I cricket in 2019 but eventually they have lost in the later games which drops them to 4th position in ICC T20 rankings at present with total points of 5470.

Without much delay let's analyze the pitch.

PITCH AND WEATHER :

        Old Trafford, Manchester is regarded as the best pitch for hosting short format in that country.Normally, it's a balanced pitch with total average score of 150. It's a good pitch to bat on and it has something to offer for spinners as well.But problem comes here as it's been raining in Manchester from couple of days AND PITCH MAY CONTAIN SOME MOISTURE content as well, making it difficult for the batsmen.So, while choosing your side medium pacers and spinners may be good option.

        Weather report as already said,it's been raining with some dense cloud and match may also have some interruptions.Hope for the full run of the match. Here the temperature is 13.26 degrees with moisture content of 93% and chance of rain is 81%.
