England and Pakistan, both had a lot of hopes for this series as the two prominent teams had a golden chance for a full dress rehearsal just before the T20 World Cup. And it seems like the Weather god has some other plans as the weather forecast of Birmingham is also not-so-convincing, to be honest.
Pakistan have released Hasan Ali from the squad who was a backup option for Haris Rauf. As soon as Haris Rauf made a full recovery, which is good news for Pakistan, Hasan was out of the squad.
Pakistan are pretty confident for this series. They were asked about the plans to counter Jofra Archer, they said they have pretty much experience playing fast bowling and they are ready for the challenge.
England with Archer back in contention, would be more confident and the combination of Mark Wood and Archer will be one of the best things for England in the series and upcoming World Cup.

ENG vs PAK 2nd T20I: Edgbaston Stadium Pitch Report
At the Edgbaston Cricket Ground, the pitch provides brisk pace and bounce, especially in the initial overs. This dynamic favors fast bowlers, giving them ample opportunity to exploit the early conditions. With overcast skies, the pacers will also benefit from the significant swing in the year.
As the game progresses, the pitch becomes more batter-friendly, offering less assistance to spinners. However, during the second innings, the pitch tends to dry out, which enhances the effectiveness of spinners. While opting to bat first after winning the toss is often a strategic move at this renowned venue, captains might choose to bowl first to take advantage of the early bowling conditions.
