England vs Pakistan Series 2021 – ENG vs PAK, 2nd ODI the match is all set to take place at – Lord’s, London (England)
Preview –
With clinical bowling performances and an even better batting display, the new-look England side trashed the men in green by 9 wickets to go 1-0 up in the 3-match ODI series. Saqib Mahmood bowled brilliantly upfront with the new ball and took 2 wickets in the first over, which set the tone for the hosts.
Meanwhile, Pakistan lost early wickets and couldn’t recover from that. They were bundled out of just 141 runs inside 36 overs. Fakhar Zaman and Shadab Khan showed some grit, but that wasn’t enough to up a match-winning target. They must win this match to stay alive in the series.
Pitch Report –
The surface here at Lord’s will help the seamers in the initial first hour of play, but later on, it will become completely flat and batters can score runs freely. It’s a 280-290 kind of wicket and bowling first is a preferable choice.
Probable Playing XI –
England – Philip Salt, Dawid Malan, Zak Crawley, James Vince, Ben Stokes (c), John Simpson (wk), Lewis Gregory, Craig Overton, Brydon Carse, Saqib Mahmood, Matt Parkinson
Pakistan – Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan, Saud Shakeel, Sohaib Maqsood, Shadab Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf
Top Picks for 2nd ODI – ENG vs PAK
Fakhar Zaman was very composed at the crease in the 1st ODI. He defended the good balls and dispatched the odd bad deliveries. He was the top scorer for Pakistan with 47 runs from 67 deliveries.
Playing in his 1st ODI, Zak Crawley bought up his maiden half-century and remained unbeaten on 58 runs. He played the ball late and rotated the strike really well, which helped his side to chase the target quite easily.
Lewis Gregory took his maiden ODI wicket with a peach of a delivery by dismissing Mohammad Rizwan for 13 runs. The Somerset all-rounder is even handy with the bat as well.
Shadab Khan battled really hard in the 1st ODI for his 30 runs and was dismissed for a well-directed short delivery from Craig Overton.
Saqib Mahmood was top class with the new ball. With his express pace and impeccable lengths, he was unplayable in the first hour of play. He was the player of the match in the 1st ODI for outstanding figures of 4 for 42.
Shaheen Afridi was the lone wicket-taker for Pakistan in the 1st ODI. He has the ability to swing the ball both ways and uses his height to the maximum extent.
Mohammad Rizwan got the perfect start but was dismissed by an excellent delivery from Lewis Gregory when he was 13. He can be backed to do well in the 2nd ODI.
