T20 internationals make an appearance for the first time during the COVID-19 era as England and Pakistan lock horns in the first of three T20s on 28th September at Old Trafford.

After a pulsating yet disappointing Test series for Pakistan, they will be hoping to get one over the English side, who are without the likes of Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes.

Led by Babar Azam, Pakistan have named a near full-strength side with Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz set to feature on Friday. However, they will be wary of Eoin Morgan's charges, who did come up trumps against Ireland in a three-match ODI series earlier in the month.

Both teams look evenly matched on paper although one would be forgiven to slightly favour a Pakistan victory.

With both sides looking for the all-important win in the series opener, a very competitive game of T20 cricket awaits on Friday.

Pitch Report

A high-scoring game is on the cards at Old Trafford with there being little help for the pacers. Although there should be some turn on offer for the spinners, the batsmen should feel at ease while batting in the middle.

The previous T20I played at this venue was in 2018 when India beat England quite comfortably, courtesy a Kuldeep Yadav fifer. With this being an evening fixture, both teams would love to chase with 165-170 being a competitive score.
