ENG vs PAK Pitch Report

The surface at Sophia Gardens favours the pacers more than the spinners. Under overcast conditions, the ball swings for a good period of time. However, the batters will have to try to apply themselves and negate the bowlers with a calculative approach. It may soothe the team batting first.

ENG vs PAK Fantasy Cricket Tips

ENG Heavy Fantasy XI

The likes of in-form batter in Phil Salt could be an X-Factor for the English side. Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler have blown hot and cold in the IPL. While Sam Curran's all-round ability will be crucial, Adil Rashid and Jofra Archer will look to put their foot in the format after a long gap.

PAK Heavy Fantasy XI

Pakistan have a formidable top-order batting which includes Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman. The bowling unit will be spearheaded by Shaheen Afridi while Iftikhar Ahmad and Shadab Khan will be indispensable with both bat and ball.


ENG vs PAK Winner Prediction

The English side has the home advantage and their attacking brand of cricket may suit the conditions in Edgbaston. Pakistan will need to adapt quickly to gain momentum in the series.


ENG vs PAK Top Player Picks

Jos Buttler (ENG):  The top-order batter tonked a brilliant match-defining 51-ball 84 in the second T20I and can be handy behind the stumps in terms of fantasy points. He smashed a couple of tons during the IPL 2024 as well. 

Phil Salt (ENG): Yet another English player that has been making a lot of noise with the bat these days is Phil Salt. The wicketkeeper-batter looked in great intent at the start in their last game but failed to convert the score. However, the golden form he has been running with in recent times, it is just a matter of time for Salt to score chunk of runs.

Fakhar Zaman (PAK): The southpaw has looked in good touch with the blade in recent times. He played some fantastic knocks against New Zealand and Ireland in the Men in Green's recently concluded series. Zaman is also a good counter to spinners during the middle overs.

Shaheen Afridi (PAK): The left-arm fast bowler has been in decent form with the ball. Despite conceding runs against Ireland and in the last T20I against England, Shaheen claimed several wickets for his side. Following seven wickets with a bowling average of 12.71 in the Ireland tour, the left-arm quick scalped a three-fer in the last game. 


ENG vs PAK Differential Picks

Mohammad Rizwan (PAK): The 32-year-old is one of Pakistan's most dependable batsmen. He just scored some match-winning runs against Ireland and excels under pressure. Rizwan is an excellent player against both pacers and spinners, with a wide range of cricketing skills.

Jofra Archer (ENG): The Barbados-bred made a fine comeback in the international circuit after his previous appearance a year back in May 2023. Archer firstly, produced some lusty blows with the bat before scalping wickets with the soften cork against Pakistan in Edgbaston.
