TEAMS PREVIEW

England Lions Preview

England Lions have dominated this T20I series completely, winning both games without much trouble. They have outplayed Pakistan in all areas, leaving their opponents struggling to compete, whether they are batting or bowling.

Asa Tribe has been in good form, scoring 70 runs across two games at a strike rate of 121. Ben McKinney opened well and made 62 runs in the same number of matches, going at 163.15. James Coles came through when it mattered in the middle order and turned the last game around with an unbeaten 48 from 30 balls, helping the Lions reach a winning total of 183-5.

Captain Jordan Cox is someone you should keep an eye on because his T20 record speaks for itself: 3,970 runs from 177 games with one century and 20 half-centuries.

The bowling unit has performed well too, with Coles taking six wickets in two games and going for only 4.75 runs per over. Sonny Baker and Scott Currie have picked up six wickets between them, putting pressure on batters every time they looked to accelerate.

Fast bowler Saqib Mahmood might return for the last match to add more depth to the attack, which would make the Lions even harder to defeat.

England Lions Predicted Playing XI:

Will Smeed, Ben McKinney, Jordan Cox(c), Asa Tribe, James Coles, Dan Mousley, Tom Moores(w), Scott Currie, Saqib Mahmood /Nathan Sowter, Sonny Baker, Sam James Cook

England Lions Actual Playing XI:

Will Smeed, Jordan Cox, Tom Moores, Saqib Mahmood, Nathan Sowter, Ben McKinney, Dan Mousley, James Coles, Scott Currie, Asa Tribe, Mitchell Stanley

Pakistan Shaheens Preview

Pakistan Shaheens have struggled in this T20 series, losing both matches and giving away the series 0-2. Both defeats were heavy, and the team will feel that pain. The Shaheens now face one last opportunity to salvage some respect and prevent a clean sweep.

Captain Shamyl Hussain has been responsible for most of their runs, scoring 77 across two games at a strike rate of 143. Maaz Sadaqat and Saad Baig have provided some help with contributions above 40, but the other batters have failed to build partnerships, which has meant their totals have been insufficient on too many occasions.

Hasan Nawaz and Saad Masood are two more batters in this squad who can produce something special. Masood proved that in the previous match when his 30 from 17 balls down the order helped the team reach a competitive 151.

Masood has also done well with the ball, taking three wickets in two games, even though he has been expensive at 11 per over. Sufiyan Muqeem and Akif Javed have both picked up two wickets, providing Pakistan with some variety and depth in their bowling attack.

Pakistan Shaheens Predicted Playing XI:

Shamyl Hussain(c), Maaz Sadaqat, Saad Baig(w), Abdul Samad, Hasan Nawaz, Arafat Minhas, Saad Masood, Shahid Aziz, Ahmed Daniyal, Akif Javed, Sufiyan Muqeem

Pakistan Shaheens Actual Playing XI:

Sameer Minhas, Sufiyan Muqeem, Saad Masood, Abdul Samad, Shahid Aziz, Shamyl Hussain, Akif Javed, Hasan Nawaz , Maaz Sadaqat, Mohammad Salman, Rohail Nazir

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Expect warm, mostly clear conditions in Dubai. Temperatures should be high, around the low-30s °C with plenty of sunshine and only a light haziness in the sky. Any chance of rain is negligible, and winds will be mild, making for dry playing conditions throughout the afternoon.

ENGLI vs PS Pitch Report

The average first innings total in T20 games at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium is 163. So far in this series at the venue, Pakistan Shaheens managed 152 for 7, while England Lions went on to record 183 for 5 batting first. The pitch has not tilted too far either way, giving both batters and bowlers a fair chance across the 20 overs.

Spin has had a clear role in the middle overs, often slowing things down and forcing batters to take risks. If England get the chance to bat first, they should be eyeing a score between 170 and 180. For Pakistan, if they go in first, a total close to 165 would be a solid number given how they have been playing.

Toss: To Bowl

In both games played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium during this series, the captain who won the toss opted to field first. With that pattern in mind, the skipper who calls it right here should be expected to make the same decision in this contest as well.
