Pakistan have already played three practice matches against
different county teams recently, and have won all of them. England played a
One-Day game against Ireland on Friday,on which they got a crucial victory with
4 wickets remaining.England haven’t got their best side.Alex Hales has left cricket for sometime due to a
personal issue.So there are questions that he will get the spot left by
Hales.In Pakistani side, Amir will try to give his best to get in the Final 15
of Pakistan.So,this match is really important for both sides.
Jofra Archer debuted for England on Friday against Ireland.
He got one wicket on his Debut.He has got a great experience of T20s playing
cricket leagues around the world.So Archer needs to be selected if England are
interested to test him for the Mega Event.Philip Salt has been called who has been playing for Sussex because Malan
has a muscle injury and cannot play the mach.If England select Vince, he will
have to prove himself as he managed to score just 18 runs against Ireland.Ben Duckett
has also been called and he will be hoping for his T20 debut today.
Pakistani batting has been really impressive in the tour
matches. All-rounder Imad Wasim hit a
century in first practice one-day game batting at no.7. Babar Azam hit his
maiden T20 century in the practice game. Opener Fakhar scored a century too and
Imam has also been in form. Middle order batting guns of Pakistan Hafeez and Malik
will be missing the match because Hafeez has not recovered fully from his
injury while Malik has left England for 10 days due to a personal issue, so
Haris will probably be selected. Asif Ali also has to prove his hard-hitting if
he wants to get into final squad.
Weather: Weather in Cardiff will
be partially cloudy, so there is
a bit chance of rain. Pakistan have played some games here, so cold weather
might not affect them.
