pakw vs engw Match Prediction & Analysis

England Women won the T20I series by 2-0 margin after the final match was washed away due to rain. England Women will look to continue their dominant form over the Pakistan team in the T20I format too.

England is No.2 ranked team in the T20Is and playing some impressive brand of cricket in the shortest format especially. Pakistan will be dejected with the manner of the losses as they were outshined by England easily in the ODIs. They will hope the change of format will bring change in fortune for them.

Pakistan is lagging behind at No.7 position in ICC T20I ratings and a win in this series will give them a surge ahead in the points table.
