NEW DELHI: England and Pakistan are preparing for an important match in the T20 World Cup, and the pitch is expected to help spin bowlers (bowlers who make the ball turn). This means batters may find it harder to score runs. England, who won the World Cup in 2022, haven’t played their best yet but are still doing well. They started the Super Eights round with a big win against Sri Lanka, which boosted their confidence and put them at the top of their group.

England also know the conditions well because they recently played and won matches at the same ground, which gives them an extra advantage. Pakistan is likely to rely heavily on their spin bowlers to challenge England. They have several skilled spin options, including Usman Tariq, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Abrar Ahmed, and Saim Ayub. These players can make batting difficult, especially as the pitch is expected to get slower as the match goes on.PAK vs ENG: Weather forecast for Kandy The weather conditions are expected to be favourable for the match.
