Pakistan has to face England in the next match of Super 8 in Pallekele. This match can prove to be the last match for Pakistan because if it loses this match then it will be eliminated from the semi-finals. The question is why is there a possibility of Pakistan losing? Leaving aside the match against India, Pakistan has played excellent cricket. But a decision of ICC can become a thorn in the side of Pakistan. This decision of ICC can show it the way out of the T20 World Cup. Let us tell you what is the matter?
Pakistan-England pitch is the reason
The match between Pakistan and England is going to be held in Pallekele and the big news is that ICC has decided to use the fresh pitch for this match. The fresh pitch means that this 22-yard strip will be more lively. There will be more swing and bounce on this, which England players can take advantage of. Actually, England has good experience of playing on live pitch. Both its fast bowlers and batsmen are used to playing on such pitches. Whereas Pakistan team comes on the field with spin friendly attack and if the pitch helps the fast bowlers then Pakistani batsmen can get into trouble and their fast bowlers are also not in good form.
Spin friendly pitch will not be made
Pakistan’s strength in the current T20 World Cup has been its spinners. This team has spinners like Usman Tariq, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Sam Ayyub. However, all this can change in the match against England on Tuesday. According to Pakistani media reports, ICC has made a new pitch for the Super 8 match between the two teams and England can get more benefit from it. In such a situation, if Pakistan team loses this match then it will be out of T20 World Cup. Actually, Pakistan’s first match in Super 8 was canceled due to rain and if it loses this match then its journey will end even before the semi-finals. Because even after winning the last match, he will not get any benefit.
