ENG vs PAK: Weather Report And Pitch Report- 1st T20I, Pakistan tour of England 2024
In the last Eng vs Pak T20I, England’s Liam Livingstone crunched Harris Rauf for a straight 110 meter six straight down the ground. It shows how beautiful and comfortable the ground has been in scoring runs. Will it continue to offer more comfort to the batters?
When it comes to the death overs (16-20), England have been quite decent with the bat in hand. Given they have a huge batting line-up, they could keep on going with more fire from the start to the backend of the innings. Before the Eng vs Pak first T20I in 2024, the hosts have nailed 452 runs in 11 innings at an average of 12.91.
The strike rate of the England batters has been quite phenomenal with a strike rate of 143.95, as they have seen the back of 35 players in this period. The team have notched up 23 boundaries in this period, while 31 sixes have come off their willow at this duration.
Pakistan have managed 1379 T20I runs in 21 innings at an average of 22.61, and a very struggling strike rate of 123.46, as they have lost 61 wickets in this time. Ahead of the Eng vs Pak T20I game, the 2009 champions have smashed 91 boundaries and 54 sixes in the last five overs.
When it comes to the bowling department of both these two sides, Pakistan has given away 834 runs in 22 innings of the death overs, with a bowling average of 17.74 and an economy of 9.46, which could be called expensive. They have picked up 47 wickets, going into the Eng vs Pak battle, conceding 71 fours and 35 sixes in this duration.

This could lead the game to be a wash-out, and if it becomes a short affair, then captains should look to chase in those conditions.
