MATCH: England vs Pakistan
DATE: May 22, 2024
TIME: 23:00 IST / 17:30 GMT
VENUE: Headingley Stadium – Leeds, England
TOURNAMENT: ENG vs PAK 1st T20 2024
Notably, the English team will reunite for a T20I series after a five-month break. The Three Lions played a five-match T20I series against the West Indies in December 2023. After that series, a bunch of cricketers was engaged in various franchise cricket tournaments around the world. Some players are now joining the national team directly from their participation in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season.
On the other hand, Pakistan will be high on confidence after their recent series victory. The Babar Azam-led side is coming off a brilliant T20I series win from their recently concluded Ireland assignment. They defeated the hosts by a 1-2 margin and will be looking to carry the same momentum against another host side.
Headingley Pitch Report:
The surface at Headingley provides an even contest between bat and ball. The surface offers a good pace, allowing batters to play their strokes freely, while giving batters full value for their shots. In the initial stages, the seamers can extract some movement off the pitch, helping them to make early breakthroughs. As the match progresses, the spinners come into play and can be influential. The team that wins the toss will look to bowl first.
