We saw a six hitting phenomenal game in the 1st T20I of the 2021 Pakistan tour of England, where the visitors picked up their first win of the tour by 31 runs. Pakistan is unlikely to make any changes to their team after that first game where their batters were brilliant and bowling has always been their stronger suit anyway. The 2nd T20I moves to Headingley where the crowd is set to witness the venue’s first ever T20 international.
On the other hand, England will be looking to hit back hard and stronger after that first loss, and they’ll bring back all of those first starters who were rested for the first game. We’re expecting another run riot on this good pitch and the team with the better bowling attack may end victorious once again.

England
We’ve got confirmation that Jos Buttler will return to the side and with a packed middle order, it’s likely he will open along side Jason Roy. The latter looked really good before scoreboard pressure got to him and was dismissed to an ugly shot in the 1st T20 but Roy makes our ENG vs PAK fantasy team foe the 2nd T20 as well. Captain Eoin Morgan looked out of touch and it’s been months since he got a fifty across formats, so he’s being left out.
With the ball, the much spoken about Matt Parkinson was torn apart by the Pakistan batsmen, so he’s likely to make way for Adil Rashid who makes our ENG vs PAK Dream11 team right away while Saqib Mahmood has been brilliant and shouldn’t be left out as it’s been a while since he went wicketless in a match. T20 specialist bowler Chris Jordan could also make his way into the squad, in place of Tom Curran.
Pakistan
We don’t expect many changes here but on the batting front, the likes of Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman are automatically added to my My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) ENG vs PAK fantasy team. Both of them have loved batting in England over the years and Zaman showed in the last game that he’s comfortable batting in the middle order as well. Known for his big hitting skills, someone like Sohaib Maqsood is worth picking too.

With the ball, the most impressive bowler in the last game had to be Shaheen Afridi. While everyone else was conceding big runs, this guy managed to keep the runs down while also getting 3 wickets to his name, so shouldn’t be left out. On the other hand, not many noticed the contribution of Mohammad Hasnain who went at 7 runs per over, which was the best economy rate in the game and picked up a wicket too.
