Host England will face Pakistan in the first T20I of the four-match series at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds on Wednesday.
The T20 Word Champions will be keen to start their home season on a winning note. Captain Jos Buttler will be hoping that the side can put in a clinical performance in this opening fixture.
On the other hand, Pakistan have announced their full-strength for the tour of England. Skipper Babar Azam will be hoping that the side can put on a decent show against England.
Both teams have competed 29 times in the shorter format where England have a clear superiority with 18 wins compared to Pakistan’s just nine victories whereas one match ended in a tie. One match has ended in a no-result.
In the batting department, the onus will be on the in-form opening batsman Jonny Bairstow, Captain Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Harry Brook, all-rounders Will Jacks, and Moeen Ali to score the bulk of the runs in this opening encounter.
Since Feb 2023, Phil Salt has topped the batting charts for England in the T20 Format. In eight matches played, Salt has accumulated 394 runs at a strike rate of 169.09. He has two centuries to his name in this period.
On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pace trio of Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Reece Topley along with the spin duo of Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid to put the opposition’s batting under pressure by claiming timely wickets.
Since Feb 2023, Leg-spinner Adil Rashid has topped the bowling charts for England in the T20 Format. In 12 matches played, Rashid has picked up 14 wickets at an economy rate of 7.11
Philip Salt was in red hot form right throughout the IPL season and he is known for his aggressive approach of batting. He will be aiming to resume from where he left off in the IPL season and replicate the same against for England. We back Philip Salt to continue his good run of form and score over 22.5 runs against the lethal Pakistani bowling attack.
