Pakistan and England are set to become the only ICC Full Member nations to play a seven-match T20I series, with the latter touring Pakistan after 17 years to play a limited Overs series.
During the ongoing first match of the aforementioned series, England have won the Toss and decided to field first at the National Stadium in Karachi, with allrounder Moeen Ali donning the skipper hat in the absence of Jos Buttler.
Fast bowler Luke Wood and Southpaw batter Shan Masood, have been handed their maiden T20I caps for England and Pakistan respectively.
While Pakistan’s squad is still without their star left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi owing to his knee injury, England have travelled without a full strength squad which is bereft of the likes of Liam Livingstone, Ben Stokes, Chris Jordan, and Jonny Bairstow (ruled out of the World Cup as well).
