ENG vs PAK Who will win Today Match :
England after losing the first Test the first Test to West Indies bounced back and won second and third Test of that series and ended up with a brilliant series win and now they’re ready to face off Pakistan in a three Test series. England have the form and momentum with them and their star all rounder Ben Stokes is in great form and the likes of Root, Burns, Sibley and Pope are also doing well while in the bowling Stuart Broad is leading from front and he is getting good support from Chris Woakes and James Anderson. On the other hand, Pakistan who has got familiar with these conditions will look for a good start and for that their batsmen have to step up. Considering both teams’ strength our today match prediction is that England is favourite to win this match. Although toss will play a good role and whoever bats first and score over 300 runs will be in a strong position.
