PAK vs ENG Preview
- Pakistan managed to edge out England in the fourth T20I.
- In the match played in Karachi, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Hasnain, and Haris Rauf excelled for Pakistan.
- For England in a futile effort, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, and Reece Topley delivered respectable performances.
Wednesday night’s fifth game in the series between Pakistan and England will be played in Lahore after the previous four Twenty20 matches were played in Karachi. Both teams won twice in the series Karachi leg, with Pakistan tying the series with a victory on Sunday. At 19:30 local time, the match begins at the Gaddafi Stadium.
The final three England wickets were taken by Pakistan in the final seven balls of the game on Sunday. In the series, they’ve given some really good performances as well as some really bad ones.
When England appeared to be snatching a victory in the final few overs of the fourth IT20, they went through a range of emotions. They have a great roster with lots of depth, thus they will do well in this match.

PAK vs ENG Pitch Report
The pitch at Lahore usually offers a good bat-ball match, with a score of 165–170 being considered average. Although there will be a constant bounce, the surface will be helpful to the quick and spin bowlers.
