Pakistan to win the second T20I against EnglandĀ
The second T20I between Pakistan and England is slated to take place on Thursday (22nd September) at the National Stadium Karachi. Thereās no doubt that both teams would want to win the game and boost their confidence ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022.
Talking about the prediction of the game, Pakistan has a high chance to win the second game of the series. One of the main reasons for their defeat in the first game was their poor middle-order batting. However, it is expected that they will come out all guns blazing and do better.

Their openers and bowlers did a decent job and if the middle order comes into the party, theyāll difficult side to defeat. Although itās pretty early in the series Pakistan would be concerned after the first loss and would look to address the poor areas in the second game.

Pakistan vs England: Although itās too early in the series for Pakistan to do chopping and changes to their playing XI, if they have to win they need to bring their key players back into the side.
