PAK vs ENG 1st T20I Match Prediction

England are the favourites to beat Pakistan in the first T20I. Pakistan endured a tough time against Ireland previously, and they are very likely to face a lot of trouble against England. The English board has fielded a full strength squad ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, and many of their players have warmed up nicely in the IPL 2024.
