Pakistan won the toss against England in the T20 World Cup Super Eights and chose to bat first, aiming for an above-par score on a promising pitch. England, coming off a strong 51-run victory over Sri Lanka, is confident in the Pallekele conditions, having previously won all four T20 matches there. Pakistan’s batting has been inconsistent, with only Sahibzada Farhan excelling, while they made changes to their lineup by excluding Faheem Ashraf. England retained their lineup, including struggling opener Jos Buttler, hoping the fresh pitch aids chasing.
