TEAMS PREVIEW

England Lions Preview

Jordan Cox will be proud of his team's efforts in the last game. It was a clinical show from the bowlers, who restricted the opponents to a small total, and the batting unit played a complementary role in the run chase. Cox would like his players to build on the momentum and take an insurmountable 2-0 series lead. 

Will Smeed and Ben McKinney got out playing poor shots in the last game, and the team expects the pair to deliver a good start. Asa Tribe played a match-winning knock in the last game, and he will look to build partnerships with Jordan Cox and James Coles. The team had firepower in the lower middle order and expects runs from Dan Mousley, Tom Moores, and Scott Currie. 

The team expects early wickets from Saqib Mahmood and Sony Baker as this wicket is good for batting against the new ball. Dan Mousley kept the batters under pressure in the last game, and he must bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Scott Currie. Nathan Sowter and James Coles will look to do well in the supporting roles. 

Interesting Stats

1. England Lions have won the last four out of five games against Pakistan Shaheens
2. England's Top 5 had a strike rate of more than 150 in the last game

Pakistan Shaheens Preview

Shamyl Hussain will be upset with his team's efforts in the last game. It was a poor show with the bat that sealed their fate. The top and the middle order struggled with consistency in the last game and will be under pressure. Hussain expects a strong comeback from his batters as they aim to win and level the series. 

Shamyl Hussain top-scored with 57 runs in the last game, but there was no support at the other end. He will look to deliver a good start with Maaz Sadaqat. Saad Baig is an experienced player and must add runs in the middle order with Abdul Samad and Hasan Nawaz. Saad Masood is a good hitter and must add quick runs in the lower middle order with Arafat Minhas. 

On the bowling front, the team expects early strikes from Mohammad Amir Khan and Akif Javed as the England Lions have a strong batting lineup. Saad Masood and Ahmed Daniyal struggled in the last game, and the team expects better performances from them in the middle overs. Sufiyan Muqeem and Arafat Minhas must deliver the goods in the supporting role. 

Interesting Stats

1. Pakistan Shaheens' No. 2, 3, 4, and 5 made only 82 runs in the last game    
2. Pakistan Shaheens' Top Order has scored at less than 130 in the last five games

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We will have clear skies over Abu Dhabi with a temperature of 21°C at the start of the game. We expect the humidity to be around 79%, and the batting conditions will be good. Bowlers will have a tough time at this venue.

ENGLI vs PS Pitch Report

Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi is a large ground with a fast outfield. It offers plenty of scoring opportunities for the batsmen. The conditions here are tough for fast bowlers, but in this tournament, spinners have been doing well, as they get some turn and bounce. The average first-innings score is 165 runs, and the side batting first will go for 200 runs on the board.

Toss: To Bowl

In the last five games, the side that batted first has won only once. Chasing a score on this surface has been easy when the sides know the asking rate. Hence, the side that wins the toss will prefer to bowl first.
