Pakistan vs England Prediction: Pakistan dominated second game

Pakistan and England are going head to head in the Match 3 of Test Series at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi, Pakistan on 24 October, 2024. Pakistan were dominant in the second game. Who will win this game of cricket?

The England team management has released their squad for the third Test to be played at Rawalpindi. The test series resurgence of Pakistan will see spinners Sajid Khan and Noman Ali in the spotlight as both of them play a real role. Kamran Ghulam, playing Test for the first time, will look forward to carrying on good form with bat. For run-making in the all-important game, batting order will be heavily depended on Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique, Shan Masood, Kamran Ghulam, Salman Ali Agha, Saud Shakeel, and Mohammad Rizwan.

Another bowler to look out for is Aamer Jamal, who saw very restricted game time in the second Test at Multan. They will probably go in with three spinners: Sajid Khan, Noman Ali, and Zahid Mehmood, while Aamer Jamal will be a fourth fast bowler. Mir Hamza can be viewed as a replacement for Zahid Mehmood, while the latter will play only if conditions are conducive for seam bowling more than spin.

For the series decider against Pakistan, the visitors are likely to bring in Gus Atkinson in place of Matthew Potts. The batting department of the team will largely depend on big guns like Joe Root, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, and Ollie Pope. In the last match, Ben Duckett played with skill, confidence, and composure by scoring a remarkable century against Pakistan while no one else reached a half-century mark. They will continue to stick to their formula of using two pacers in Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse and two spinners in Jack Leach and Shoaib Bashir. Joe Root would chime in with his part-time spin if needed.

It's pretty apparent that Pakistan are hot favorites for the third Test in England. Emerging stars Sajid Khan and Noman Ali have been enjoying some excellent bowling spells that will obviously give their home team an upper hand over rest. Skipper Shan Masood will be under expected pressure to contribute strongly in the series decider.

However, England has also a great chance of winning the game, as Brydon Carse and Gus Atkinson will be supported by cooler weather. Nevertheless, Pakistan is anticipated to win and take the Test series at Rawalpindi in a very comfortable way against England.
