So off we go into a format which based on our PSL exploits should be one our guys will be able to dominate - or will they?
 
T20 will kill whatever talent is left in Pakistan. Or Pakistan must have a completely different set of players for this useless format.
 
so the question in everyone's mind is
Will the T20 results be any different than the ODI's?
 
If Pakistan play an additional spinner then they should win 2-1. These newbie English batters aren't great at playing even decent spin bowling.

But won't be surprised if England win this one as well. Salt, Vince, Malan, Stokes are not easily to contain on flat wickets.
 
India just beat a stronger Eng team with our 125kph trundler Bhuvi so I expect the 150kph Hasnain and Shaheen to absolutely bury this weak English team.
 
England will be disappointed if they cannot win by 3-0 even with their C or D team.

The faster you bowl, faster it gets dispatched to the boundary in T20.

Only if you are a no-hoper like Varun Aaron. Any half-wit should be able to bowl to a decent standard if he has the pace that the Pakistani pacers are claimed to be bowling at.
 
I would've said 2-1 to Pakistan a few days ago but I now think England may take the series 2-1.

Bhuvi swings , hasnain just bowls gun barrel straight.. Massive difference there...
 
My concern is a 6-0 series defeat across the 2 formats.

I hope it doesn't happen, but the way Pakistan are playing, this is a possibility.
 
Our T20 side is better than our ODI side, but if we got thumped by England's reserve side, who knows what their semi-proper team will do to us. I hope we can get our act together and perhaps win a match.
 
From an ECB spokesperson regarding Yorkshire's abandoned fixture in the T20 Blast against Derbyshire:

“We are in close contact with Yorkshire regarding today’s abandoned fixture. The club are doing everything possible to ensure that the upcoming IT20 match against Pakistan can go ahead and based on current information we are confident that it will be able to take place.”

If rizwan is not fit then both Fakhar,sharjeel should play and azam should keep

Given England's squad for the T20Is, a 6-0 series result looks likely I'm afraid.

I hope I'm wrong though.
 
2-1 England

Batting has always been our Achilles heel but the problem is the present bowling attack does not inspire much confidence in me either. All the pacers are pretty mediocre, lack consistency + they ALL have a tendency to leak boundaries.
 
In the recent t20 series that Pakistan have played they got whitewashed to SriLanka C side. Lost matches against Zimbabwe and SA B sides. So based on that against a nearly full strength England the result is more likely to be 3-0 but if someone can play out of the skin then it can end up 2-1 in favour of england. Pakistan winning looks very bleak.

Like Root has been sidelined from t20s Babar azam too needs to be sidelined if he doesn't improve his strike rate. No use scoring run a ball 50s that hurt the team more often than not. Though the issue is England have other t20 players to afford Root's absense whereas pakistan dont seem to have that luxury much to Babar's advantage.

Did you not watch England B team whitewash us?

Pakistan lose when they’re expected to win, Pakistan wins when they’re expected to lose.

Also, we’re much better in T20’s than we are in ODI’s, the shorter the format the better we are.

When was the last time Pak whitewashed any of the SENA countries? They were white washed by SL C team though a year ago. Lost a match to Zim and struggled to victory against SA B sides.

So you consider a victory in a one-off t20 as a whitewash. Fine, if that makes you happier. Though I was asking a minimum of 3 match series as you predicted 3-0.

2018/19 - 3-0 vs Australia

2018/19 - 3-0 vs New Zealand

Now what? Minimum 4 T20’s?😉
 
The ODI series was an abberation. 3-0 to Pakistan.
They know the conditions and are being considered underdogs. Everyone is writing them off at their own peril.
 
T20 is a very unpredictable format. So anything can happen.

Pakistan could quite easily win the series too.

Yes, its going to be interesting. Especially if Hassan Ali comes back for Haris it will bolster the bowling. I am somehow not convinced with Shadab though he took wickets yesterday. Usman needs to replace him. If Buttler makes a comeback then he shud be in place of Malan (though malan is the no. 1 t20 batsman) not in place of Moeen or Livingstone.

Old Trafford is Pakistan’s den, we beat them last time thanks to Sharjeel and Khalid Latif, hopefully Sharjeel gets an opportunity.

There are many issues that need to be addressed:

1) Usman needs to replace either Shadab or Imad. even replacing Haris will not be a bad option.
2) Fakhar needs to open as he can take advantage of powerplay. By doing so Rizwan can come in middle order and take on the spinners.
3) Fakhar and Sharjeel opening would be ideal but knowing Misbah it will never happen.

As for beating them at old trafford last year sometimes results can be misleading. In that team there was no Jason Roy, Buttler, Livingstone (Stokes too but Stokes isn't available this time too so lets no discount him). The batting lineup this time is much stronger as compared to then.

In the last match played at Old Trafford in 2020 Haider Ali played a good knock who isn't available this time and Hafeez played a blinder but he has been woefully out of form since PSL.

So going by past records is misleading.

Both imad and shadab play as 2 all rounders.qadir is a better spinner than both but he doesn't have the batting ability.

Imad and Shadab are just handy with the bat and not match winners. If they come to the crease with 50 runs required they will more often than not fail. Add to that the amount of runs they would leak. If pakistan depend on them to finish the game then they will lose. But qadir can be a wicket taking option.

The ideal XI for pak is this in my opinion:

Sharjeel
Fakhar
Babar
Rizwan
Hafeez
Maqsood/Azam Khan
imad
Nawaz/Qadir
Arshad iqbal
Hasnain
shaheen

Sharjeel and fakhar opening combo can be as dangerous as Jason Roy & Buttler if not better. Even if one of them tees of they will take the match away. hafeez and maqsood/azam khan can act as the finishers. If the openers fail babar and Rizwan can both consolidate as well as carry forward the momentum.

Since its a decider I dont think this Pak team has the mental ability to handle the pressure. More importantly Misbah and co are so averse to changes and will play Shadab and rauf. Unless they play out of their skins this is England's match to lose.

They are handy in both facits of the game bowling and batting.imad has won games with the bat and shadab also won a couple games with the bat pluss he's the best fielder in the team.

Shadab has been poor but he's getting better and looks more confident when bowling.

Sharjeel will perform once in five games if your lucky pluss we already have unfit players can't have another one.
