ENG vs PAK Dream11 Prediction: England vs Pakistan 2nd T20I – 30 August 2020 (Manchester)
Advertisement
Hosts England will take on Pakistan in the 2nd T20I match of the 3 matches T20I series. This is the first T20I series after the COVID-19 break and two sides with some really good players are up against each other in this game.
The first game of the series was abandoned due to rain and this match is now very important for the series point of view as the winner of this game can’t lose the series. Both teams would give their all in this game.
The spinners will have a say on this pitch and that was proved in the last game by the Pakistani duo of Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim. Tom Banton played a brilliant inning in the last game and would like to continue whereas Jonny Bairstow would want to leave behind his struggles in this game.
This will be an interesting game to watch out.
