PAK vs ENG Test Series Overview

Pakistan made a solid comeback in the ongoing home test against England by beating them in a convincing manner in the second test to level series 1-1.

It was Pakistan’s first win at home in nearly four years that came after making some changes in their regular squad. They excluded some of their top players such as Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah after the first test loss.

The selectors’ bold move turned out extremely positive for the hosts, as the victory not only boosted the hosts’ morale, but also provided them with the confidence to win the series.

The third and the final test in Rawalpindi will decide the fate of the series. England will need to work on their lower middle order contributions and fast bowlers’ performance in order to secure the series.

Who will win test series between Pakistan and England?

The turning track in Multan aided in Pakistan’s comeback victory in the second test, with spinners Sajid Khan and Noman Ali sharing all 20 wickets. Given the pitch at Rawalpindi Stadium expected to function similarly, and help the spinners, Pakistan will start the third test as favourites to win.
