ENG vs PAK Dream11 Prediction: England and Pakistan take each other on in the first T-20 of the series.
T-20 is a completely different ball game to test cricket and although the test cricket was a very keenly contested series too, the competition levels in the T-20 series are expected to be through the roof with both the teams boasting of some top t-20 players
However, England in the modern era is one of the best limited over teams and on their day, there is no limit to what they can chase or defend with the batting depth that they have. Pakistan however have a great bowling attack with some out and out fast bowling and some smart operators.
Pakistan’s batting though doesn’t offer much and does not have those match winners that their opponents have apart from Babar Azam and that gives their opponents who have the likes of Moeen Ali, Eoin Morgan and Jonny Bairstow who can take the game away in a flash.

Wicket-Keeper: Bairstow
Batsman: Azam, Hafeez, Morgan, Banton
All-Rounders: Shadab Khan, Ali. Willey
Bowlers: Afridi, Curran, Rashid
Captain, Vice-captain
Babar Azam – He is the best t-20 player in the world as per the rankings and it is an obvious choice to choose him as the captain because he is going to deliver in all likelihood on smaller grounds and flatter pitches .
Eoin Morgan – He is their captain courageous and has a phenomenal record for his team and plays at average of 31 in a T-20 game which is nothing short of fantastic at the rate he strikes. He is a big hitter and a finisher.
Grand League
Jonny Bairstow – The keeper batsman is a brilliant player and would have to shoulder the responsibilities of a good opening partnership with Jason Roy not being there. He strikes at 140 which is a big asset for his tema.
Shaheen Afridi – With the left arm angle, he is a wicket taker and still young he already has made a mark in the international game having picked 16 wickets in 12 matches.
For today match prediction, we will pick England for their all round depth and power hitters however Pakistan are more than capable of springing an upset in this game for sure
