Amidst the glamour of IPL, the stage is set for an exciting T20I series between England and Pakistan, starting on May 22nd in Leeds. This four-match showdown holds immense significance for both sides as it serves as their final tune-up before the highly anticipated ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 to be held in the West Indies and USA.
All eyes will be on Pakistan
Pakistan have played the most number of T20Is leading up to the T20 World Cup. While they won their last T20I series against Ireland (2-1), the Men in Green failed to clinch the five-match rubber against a second-string New Zealand side at home. Fortunately for Pakistan, skipper Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were amongst runs against Ireland and even looked aggressive.
England players in form due to IPL 2024
While England are yet to play a T20 international in 2024, most of their players have been playing rigorous cricket. Thanks to the IPL 2024, the English contingent have been in red-hot form.
