The 2nd T20I match between England and Pakistan will be held at the Headingley in Leeds. The match will be kicked off on 18th July (Sunday) at 19:30 (GMT+6).
After a humiliating defeat in the ODI series, Pakistan bounced back to win the first T20I by 31 runs. The 150-run partnership between Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan for the first wicket set the tone for them, as they posted their highest T20I score of 232. Later, the outstanding bowling from Shaheen Afridi handed them an early lead in the series.
Despite Liam Livingstone’s century, the hosts were unable to reach the target of 31 runs in the first T20I. They made it easy for Pakistan batsmen to free their arms and tried a lot with the bowling combination. They’re in a must-win situation and will look to tie the series in today’s match.
Weather
On Sunday afternoon in Leeds, it was mostly sunny with a high of 26 Degrees Celsius throughout the match.
Pitch
This is the first time Headingley has hosted an IT20 match. We predict scores of 200+ to be very possible again, backed up by passionate fans on both teams.
