Pakistan pulled off a brilliant victory in the last game at Karachi. With this, the series is now level. The next three games of the series would happen in Lahore. Here, we take a look at the pitch report of the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore and the weather conditions in Lahore for PAK vs ENG 2022.
Both teams will have a lot to prove in the games at Lahore. Pakistan has improved with their batting but there is still scope for showing more intent. The bowling has been fine and they would want to improve on their performances. On the other hand, England has had its fair share of success but with the T20 World Cup coming up, they will want to be more consistent.

The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is an iconic venue. Till now, a total of 15 T20I encounters have happened here. Out of this, teams batting second have won eight matches. Therefore, we can expect the captains to choose to field first.
The average score batting first is 156 and this is likely to remain consistent for the three games in the series. Mohammad Rizwan‘s century in 2021 against South Africa is the best batting display at this venue. The Pakistan wicket-keeper will look to repeat the show against England. Dwaine Pretorius picked up a five-wicket haul when South Africa came here. That remains the best individual bowling performance.
