ENG vs PAK 2nd Test Prediction: England decimated Pakistan in the first Test by an innings and 47 runs in the first Test in Multan. Joe Root and Harry headlined the win with swashbuckling knocks with the bat.
Once again, Pakistan had a forgettable outing. Meanwhile, they have made some drastic changes to their squad. Their three stalwarts, Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah, have been rested. They have chosen three spinners in their playing XI for the second Test.
On the other hand, England skipper Ben Stokes is back and will be captaining the team. The second Test match will also be played on this same surface in Multan.
England Team Review
England exhibited a stellar performance in the first Test, having posted their highest innings total ever in Test cricket.
It was a special game for Joe Root, who surpassed Alastair Cook to become the highest run-scorer for England in Tests. His partner in crime, Harry Brook smashed the second-fastest triple century in Test cricket history. Both will be the players to watch out for.
Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley also smashed respective half-centuries for England. As for the bowling, look no further than Jack Leach, who picked seven wickets in the first Test.
The pitch will offer ample turn and thus we would advise you to pick more spinners than pacers in your fantasy line-up.
Pakistan Team Preview
In the absence of Babar Azam, the onus will be on Shan Masood to do the bulk of the scoring. He smashed a scintillating century in the first Test and you can put faith in him.
Besides, the likes of Saud Shakeel and Rizwan are handy picks. However, Salman Agha, who starred with the bat in the last Test, is a must-have. He can fetch you valuable points with the ball as well.
Pakistan have named three specialist spinners in the playing XI. You can opt for Noman Ali and Sajid Khan.
ENG vs PAK 2nd Test Match Prediction
Given how England played in the first Test and the kind of form they are in, you would back them to make it 2-0. Pakistan need to do something special if they want to make a comeback. Considering their recent form, England looks favourites to win the clash.
