ENG vs. PAK Today Match Prediction, 1st T20, 16th July 2021
KhelTalk is the only destination that brings you the finest today’s match prediction that you can trust. We are here for ENG vs. PAK Today Match Prediction, 1st T20, Online Cricket Betting Tips, which will provide every user with a clear picture of which team and in what aspect they can place their bets.
Pakistan
Pakistan was hammered by England’s 2nd string squad in the ODI series. The team is under tremendous pressure after the ODI series loss, and the T20 series is crucial for them now. Although Pakistan has been good in T20I’s lately, they defeated South Africa both home and away in 2021. In the 3rd ODI, we witnessed the master class by Babar Azam, who is a positive signal for them.
Pakistan relies hugely on Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan in the batting department. Both had an outstanding PSL, with both finishing as top 2 highest run-getters. Some players are coming back because of PSL form. Player’s like Sohaib Maqsood, Hasan Ali, and Arshad Iqbal had a good PSL. Pakistan would hope for them to continue their form.
- Mohammad Rizwan has scored most 530 runs in T20I’s with an extraordinary 106.00 average.
- Pakistan drew the last series against England in 2020.
- Hasan Ali averages 13.69 with the ball in 2021 T20I’s.
Top Batsmen of Pakistan in T20I 2021
- Mohammad Rizwan– 530 runs in 10 innings, 106.00 average
- Babar Azam– 354 runs in 10 innings, 35.40 average
- Fakhar Zaman– 110 runs in 6 innings, 22.00 average
Top Bowler of Pakistan in T20I 2021
- Hasan Ali-13 wickets in 6 matches, 13.69 average
- Usman Qadir– 10 wickets in 8 matches, 21.40 average
- Haris Rauf– 9 wickets in 8 matches, 26.44 average
England
England is arguably the best white-ball team in the world. They won the ODI series with their 2nd string squad against Pakistan quite comprehensively. England has recalled their regular starters like Jason Roy, Adil Rashid, Eoin Morgan for this series. England will look to continue their white-ball form and domination over Pakistan.
All eyes will be on the world’s no.1 ranked T20 player Dawid Malan. He failed to score any big score in the ODI series and is under enormous pressure. There is still a question mark over his game against spin bowling, and with the T20 World Cup around the corner, he needs to fire again. England’s side looks complete in and out, and the emergence of Saqib Mahmood has created a good headache for selectors.
- England last lost the T20 series in 2018 on their home soil.
- England has only lost 1 series out last 10 T20 series.
- Eoin Morgan only averages 9.00 in 2021 T20Is.
Top Batsmen of England in T20I 2021
- JC Buttler – 240 runs in 6 innings, 60 average
- DJ Malan– 235 runs in 8 innings, 35.57 average
- JJ Roy– 197 runs in 7 innings, 28.14 average
Top Bowler of England in T20I 2021
- MA Wood– 8 wickets in 6 matches, 22.50 average
- AU Rashid– 8 wickets in 8 matches, 24.75 average
- SM Curran- 7 wickets in 8 matches, 17.85 average

Pitch Report
Trent Bridge is famous for its good batting surface. The average 1st innings score is 154 on this ground. In recent T20 blast matches, most teams won chasing. Pitch might be better in the 2nd innings. As the match is in the evening, opening bowlers will get something out of the freshness of the wicket. Toss would be crucial as the chasing team might have an advantage given the history of the ground.

Popular Betting Odds For ENG vs PAK, 1st T20I, Today Match Prediction, Cricket Betting Tips
Top Batsman from Pakistan – Jos Butler (Odds- 3.75)
Jos Butler is making a comeback after missing the ODI series due to injury. Jos Butler is England’s highest run-scorer in 2021 with 240 runs. England will hope Jos Butler to continue his form. Jos Butler is one of the best opening T20 batsmen in the world. He has proved to the world from time to time again. It is a no-brainer for everyone to pick him.
Top Batsman from West Indies – Babar Azam (Odds- 2.62)
Babar Azam is arguably the best T20 batsman at the moment. In 3rd ODI, he smashed record 158 runs and silenced his critics. Babar Azam is the 2nd highest run-getter in 2021 with 354 runs. In recently concluded PSL also, he looked in brilliant touch. He finished as a top run-scorer. Going into this T20 series, he would want to continue his form and win the series for Pakistan. Babaz Azam is one of the modern greats, and you can’t keep him out of any team.
Top Bowler from West Indies– Adil Rashid (Odds- 3.60)
Adil Rashid has been brilliant for England in white-ball cricket over the years. On English surfaces that offer less to spinners, he made the most use of them. He is 2nd highest wicket-taker with 8 wickets in 2021. England depends on him a lot in middle overs. He is the go-to man for Morgan in T20I’s. He is not a big spinner of the ball, but he deceives them with his variations. Adil Rashid is our top bowler for this match.
Top Bowler from Pakistan – Haris Rauf (Odds- 3.50)
Haris Rauf made his debut last year after an excellent BBL in 2020. He has been an integral part of Babar’s team in T20I’s. He is criticized for leaking runs, but he is a genuine wicket-taker. He has taken 9 wickets in 2021. In the last ODI, he picked 4 wickets and kept Pakistan in the hunt. Although he leaks runs sometimes, but he is a real threat with his pace and bounce. Pakistan will be hoping to nurture him going into T20 World Cup later this year. He is our top pick for Bowler from Pakistan.
