Pakistan vs England Toss Prediction
England are the predicted toss winners and are expected to bat first. With a projected total of 350+, setting a target looks attractive if the surface behaves, though evening dew could tempt captains to chase. Pakistan’s 340+ projection suggests a high-scoring game either way, so the toss helps but should not decide the result.
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
An official pitch report has not been supplied, so this assessment relies on the available signals. The opening game here produced a first-innings total of 305, and both sides are projected to pass 340 in this fixture, which points towards a surface that rewards batters. Bowlers will need discipline and variation in the middle overs to stay in the contest, so recheck the pitch update closer to the toss.
Weather Report
Temperature and dew details are not confirmed at the time of writing, so check the latest forecast before the start. If dew arrives later in the day, it can make the ball harder to grip for bowlers defending a total, which keeps chasing a live option despite the predicted toss decision. No rain interruption is indicated in the available information, so a full 50-over contest is the working expectation.

Pakistan vs England Team Preview & Squads
Pakistan
Shaheen Shah Afridi leads Pakistan as both captain and spearhead of the attack, and this preview starts with him for good reason. Leading from the front with the new ball gives the side direction, and his decisions could matter against England’s aggressive batting.
The batting arrives in good heart after posting 305 against Sri Lanka, with Salman Agha’s 107 off 90 balls earning the Player of the Match award. Babar Azam is our predicted top run-scorer and most sixes hitter for Pakistan, while Fakhar Zaman and Hasan Nawaz add depth. A projected 340+ shows the hosts back themselves to match England’s scoring.
Naseem Shah is predicted as the leading wicket-taker, supported by Shaheen, Haris Rauf and the spin of Abrar Ahmed and Shadab Khan. Saim Ayub, the key all-rounder, gives the playing XI balance with bat and ball. In the last game, this attack bowled Sri Lanka out for 268 in 48.1 overs.
Pakistan Squads
Shaheen Shah Afridi, Abrar Ahmed, Arafat Minhas, Babar Azam, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Ghazi Ghori, Haris Rauf, Hasan Nawaz, Naseem Shah, Razaullah, Saad Baig, Saim Ayub, Salman Agha, Shadab Khan, Sufyan Moqim
England
Harry Brook captains England, and his leadership is central to this England preview. The visitors arrive confident after beating Sri Lanka by 223 runs at The Oval on September 27, 2026, a result that showed their strength in both departments.
Joe Root is the key batter, our predicted Player of the Match, and the predicted top run-scorer and most sixes hitter for England, making him a strong name in any fantasy cricket tips list. The 355/7 posted at The Oval and the projected 350+ here show a deep batting group that includes Ben Duckett, Tom Banton and Jordan Cox.
Adil Rashid is the key bowler and a major middle-overs threat, while Jamie Overton is predicted as the top wicket-taker. Will Jacks is the key all-rounder, offering runs and overs, and Gus Atkinson, Josh Tongue and Sam Curran add bowling depth. That attack dismissed Sri Lanka for 132 in 29.1 overs last time out.
England Squads
Harry Brook, Gus Atkinson, Sonny Baker, Tom Banton, James Coles, Jordan Cox, Mason Crane, Henry Crocombe, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Josh Tongue
