ENG vs PAK: England will lock horns against Pakistan in the Warm-up Match 11 of the ICC T20 World Cup, 2022 on Monday, October 17, 2022, at The Gabba, Brisbane.
Both teams have recently locked horns with each other in Pakistan in the seven-match T20I series, where England emerged victorious by winning four matches, including the seventh and deciding T20I.
However, this time, England will be bolstered by the return of their key players, including their regular skipper Jos Buttler, who missed the entire T20I series in Pakistan owing to his injury. With the return of the hard-hitting all-rounder Liam Livingstone, England will fancy its chance.
Pakistan, on the other hand, recently won the tri-series, comprising New Zealand and Bangladesh and must be entering this contest with a lot of confidence. However, there are still some issues that Babar Azam & Co. needs to work on before they kick start its T20 World Cup campaign against the arch-rivals India.
Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the Warm-up Match 11 of the ICC T20 World Cup, 2022.
