Pakistan and England will collide in the third Test of their three-match series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium between October 24 and October 28. England won the series-opener by an innings and 47 runs earlier this month before Pakistan levelled the series with a 152-run win the following week in Multan.

Pakistan on the cusp of rare home series win

Pakistan’s 152-run win over England last week marked their first Test victory in over a year, and first at home in nearly four years. With a newfound momentum, Shan Masood and co. are now presented with an opportunity to secure a rare series win at home, to make amends for their 0-3 drubbing to England back in late-2022.

Debutant Kamran Ghulam, who filled in for Babar Azam in Multan, smacked a match-defining century to defy the likes of Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse and in-form English spinners Jack Leach and Shoaib Bashir. With the ball, Pakistan spinners Sajid Khan and Noman Ali picked up each of the 20 English wickets on offer to script a huge win for their team.

England eye crucial WTC points

England registered emphatic series wins over West Indies and Sri Lanka at home. Securing five wins in six Tests, the Englishmen also won their series-opener against Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs. However, Ben Stokes and co. had their juggernaut disrupted by Pakistan in Multan, courtesy of hosts’ spinners.

For the impending series-decider, Joe Root, Ben Duckett and Harry Brook will start out as some of the primary in-form batters in England’s line-up. While fast bowlers have played a crucial role in England’s success off late, the playing conditions on offer indicate that spinners Jack Leach and Shoaib Bashir will be playing a major part for the visitors in their final match of the tour.

How Will The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium Pitch Behave?

The conditions at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium tends to favour batters. However, recent reports indicate that the pitch curators might well churn out yet another spin-friendly surface to assist Pakistan. The average first innings total at the venue in Test matches has emerged in the range of early 340s.
