<p>England Cricket Board has called back all their players from IPL in India for the T20I series against Pakistan. England last played a T20I match back in December 2023 when they lost the five-match T20I series against West Indies by a 3-2 scoreline. However, their frontline batters were playing in IPL 2024 and are in touch with good form, but they will highly value this T20I series against Pakistan in preparation for the T20 World Cup.</p>

<p>Jofra Archer is fit and all to play his first T20I after a pretty long gap. It will be fun to watch him sharing the ball with Mark Wood in the series and if all goes well, this duo will create lot of challenges for the other teams.</p>



<p>Pakistan are also having Haris Rauf back in the squad which strengthened their already strong bowling lineup. With Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah in red-hot form supported with equal sharpness by Mohammad Amir and Abbas Afridi, Pakistan's bowling is definitely going to be a point of concern for the opposition.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/11/Buttler-1.jpg" alt="England Vs Pakistan final" class="wp-image-97595" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Buttler sent back by Haris Rauf (ic_ ESPNcricinfo)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Along with Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali has also made his T20I comeback and it will be intriguing what combination Pakistan come up with in the ENG vs PAK 1st T20I.</p>

<p>The same challengers, the same hosts, three years back in history have been the only T20I played on this ground. Nice and trustable bounce off the surface that allows the batters to meet the ball on the up. Still, there is some aid for pacers if they bowl on the stump line.</p>



<p>Spinners haven't been successful here in the shortest format in the local tournaments as well so expect teams to have an extra-pace option.</p>

<p>Notably, England will play a T20 International series after a gap of five months. Their last T20i series came against the West Indies in December 2023. Post the conclusion of that series, many of England's T20i specialists got busy with franchise Cricket duties. The likes of skipper Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali, Will Jacks, Phil Salt, Reece Topley and Liam Livingstone are joining the national team directly from their participation in IPL 2024.</p>



<p>Pakistan on the other hand will be highly confident after their series win against Ireland. They defeated Ireland by a margin of 1-2 and the Shaheens will be looking to carry the winning momentum against England.</p>

<p>The pitch of Headingley provides an equal amount of support to both the batters and the bowlers. The pitch offers a good amount of pace which allows the batters to play shots freely. In the initial overs of the game, the fast bowlers will be able to extract some swing off the surface which will help them to get early breakthroughs for their respective team. As the game progresses, the spinners will start coming into play and can play a crucial role with the bowl. The toss-winning captain will most likely opt to field first.</p>

<p>Pakistan and England have played a total of 29 T20i matches against each other. Out of these 29 games, 19 have been won by the Three Lions while the Men in Green have won just nine games. One match ended without a result.</p>



<p><strong>England won: </strong>19</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-eng-best-performers-of-the-first-t-20-i-predicted">PAK vs ENG: Best performers of the first T20I (Predicted)</h2>



<p><strong>Best Batter (Predicted):</strong> Pakistan?s skipper Babar Azam can be the best batter in the upcoming first T20i against England. Azam is looking in good form as he scored 132 runs in three games against Ireland and he was the joint-highest run-getter in the series as well. His performance with the bat will be crucial for the Shaheens if they want to defeat a highly experienced England side.</p>



<p><strong>Best Bowler (Predicted):</strong> England?s experienced bowling all-rounder Chris Jordan can be the pick of the bowlers in the upcoming first T20i against Pakistan. The 35-year-old Englishman is regarded as the best T20i specialist in the world of Cricket and has proven to be crucial for the Three Lions with the ball during the middle and the death overs of an inning. His ability to bowl effective slower balls in the middle phase of an inning along with executing pinpoint yorkers in the end has made him a really important asset for the Three Lions.</p>

ENG vs PAK 1st T20I: Match Prediction | Who will win 1st game of the series between England vs Pakistan?

eng-vs-pak-1st-t20i-match-prediction-who-will-win-1st-game-of-the-series-between-england-vs-pakistan

<p><strong>ENG vs PAK T20I Series: </strong>Just hours before the first T20I, Pakistan have decided to release star pacer and all-rounder Hasan Ali from the squad for the four-match T20I series against England. </p>



<p>As per the Pakistan Cricket Board Officials, the right-arm medium pacer Hasan Ali was added to the squad as a backup option for Haris Rauf, and as of now, they have a fully fit and ready to kill Haris Rauf so they are releasing Hasan Ali from the National Squad.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/07/Hasan-Ali.jpg" alt="Hasan Ali" class="wp-image-91976" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Hasan Ali</figcaption></figure>



<p>It's a rare move for the board to release a fully fit player from the squad, yet that's precisely what happened with Hasan Ali. This decision underscores that the PCB is not considering him for the T20 World Cup squad. Notably, Pakistan is the last team to announce their World Cup squad, expected to be revealed after a few matches in the current T20I series.</p>



<p>In a twist, Hasan Ali received a surprise recall to Pakistan's T20I setup ahead of their recent series against Ireland. His latest outing was in the third T20I, where he bowled three overs and leaked 42 runs without taking a wicket.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/ICC/status/1793243120110391575
</div><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>ENG vs PAK</em></figcaption></figure>



<p>The Pakistan team management has opted to let Hasan Ali continue his county cricket commitments with Warwickshire. His fellow countryman, Aamer Jamal, also played for Warwickshire but was dropped after taking only one wicket in his first two appearances and missing out in their recent defeat against Essex.</p>



<p>Warwickshire was caught off guard by Hasan's international recall, but he's set to rejoin their squad for the County Championship match against Lancashire at Emirates Old Trafford starting Friday. Hasan is also slated to participate in the T20 Blast, commencing next week, and will remain with the club until the end of July.</p>



<p><strong>Here is Pakistan's Updated Squad for the T20I series</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>ENG vs PAK: Pakistan's Updated Squad</strong></h2>



<p>Babar Azam (C), Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Irfan Khan Niazi, Iftikhar Ahmad, Usman Khan (WK), Azam Khan (WK), Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Abbas Afridi, Abrar Ahmed, and Salman Ali Agha.</p>

NZ vs PAK: The fifth T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan will be played on 26 March at Wellington’s Sky Stadium, which has hosted 22 T20Is—10 won batting first, 12 chasing. The average first-innings score is 153, but high totals like NZ’s 219/6 and successful chases like Australia’s 216 show it can be a batting-friendly ground. Key performers here include Martin Guptill (453 runs) and Ish Sodhi (17 wickets). With chasing slightly favored and spinners often influential, the match could hinge on whether Pakistan’s batters or New Zealand’s home advantage proves decisive.
