Pakistan vs England Prediction: Pakistan takes the lead for the first time in the series.

The fifth game of the seven-game series between Pakistan and England will be played in Gaddafi Stadium on 28th September. The series is all square with a 2-2 scoreline. Will Pakistan be able to take the lead for the first time in the series or will England take revenge after their disappointing loss in the last game? 

Pakistan Form

Pakistan won a thriller in the last game after England looked certain to win the series. They won the game by three runs due to some out worldly performance by Pakistani bowlers. Naseem Shah and Shadab Khan will be called for this game and will be a major boost for the men in green. Pakistan has an explosive but sensible batsman in the form of Rizwan who scored 88 runs in the last game. They will be looking for pretty much the same and more from other batters in the fifth game of the series. 

Pakistan Predicted Lineup

Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Babar Azam (c), Haider Ali, Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Khushdil Shah, Naseem Shah, Usman Qadir, Haris Rauf, Shahnawaz Dahani 

England Form

England will be kicking themselves after losing the last game. They needed 33 off 18 balls and after Hasnain's 18th over needed only 9 off 12. They were not able to score nine runs and fell short by three. The English batsman gave away the game in crucial stages. They should leave the past behind and focus on the next game to reclaim the lead for the third time in the series.   

England Predicted Lineup

Phil Salt (wk), Alex Hales, Dawid Malan, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali (c), Sam Curran, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Luke Wood, Richard Gleeson

Expert betting tips

The Lahore pitch will assist batters but not like Lahore. Bowlers will have something if they bowl in the right areas. Expect a similar high-scoring game. Pakistan is on a high after snatching victory from the jaws of defeat and we expect them to continue the momentum in this game as well.

Prediction

• Pakistan to win for 1.90;
• Total over 342.5 for 1.83;
• Pakistan top batter - Rizwan for 3.00
