The second leg of England’s tour of Pakistan 2022 will commence in Lahore from tonight. While Karachi had hosted the first four of a seven-match T20I series, Lahore will be hosting the remaining three T20Is within the next five days.
The first-ever seven-match T20I series between two ICC (International Cricket Council) Full Member Nations is evenly poised at 2-2 after four matches. Both the teams winning matches alternatively speaks highly about the close nature of the series thus far.
Gaddafi Stadium, which has already hosted five international matches across formats this year, will be hosting its 16 T20I on Wednesday. Pakistan, who’ve been part of all the 15 T20Is in the past, have won nine and lost six matches here. England, on the other hand, will be playing their first-ever T20I at this venue.
