Pakistan Looking for a Big Win at Home
Last week win was a special one for Pakistan. It was their first Test win in over a year and the first time they won at home in nearly four years. This gives Pakistan a chance to win a rare Test series at home, especially after they lost to England 0-3 in their last series in late 2022.
In the second match, Kamran Ghulam, who was playing instead of Babar Azam, scored a brilliant century. His batting helped Pakistan fight back against England’s bowlers like Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse, Jack Leach, and Shoaib Bashir. On the bowling side, Pakistan’s spinners Sajid Khan and Noman Ali took all 20 wickets to secure a big win for their team.England Aiming for Important WTC Points
England has had strong Test series wins against West Indies and Sri Lanka at home. They started this series by winning the first match but lost to Pakistan’s spinners in the second game.
For the final match, England will rely on Joe Root, Ben Duckett and Harry Brook as their main batters. While their fast bowlers have been important, the pitch at Rawalpindi may suit spinners more, meaning Jack Leach and Shoaib Bashir could play big roles.
How Will the Pitch at Rawalpindi Act?
The Rawalpindi pitch usually helps batters, but it could be changed to help spin bowlers this time, especially for Pakistan. The average score in the first innings here is around 340, which shows the pitch can be good for scoring runs.
Teams that bat second at Rawalpindi often do well. So, whichever captain wins the toss will likely choose to bowl first.
