England vs. Pakistan T20 World Cup Predictions, Odds, & Best Bets

England meet Pakistan in Pallekele on Tuesday. It is the second match of the Super Eight phase for both teams. England struggled with the bat, but bowled their way to victory against Sri Lanka. Pakistan’s opening match against New Zealand was abandoned without a ball being bowled. 

The cricket betting odds at the BetMGM online sportsbook make England favourites for this contest. Harry Brook’s team won at this venue on Sunday and won all three of their T20Is against Sri Lanka in Pallekele earlier this year.

England vs. Pakistan Predictions

I predict England will defeat Pakistan in the T20 World Cup on Tuesday. 

A loss will leave Pakistan under pressure for their match against Sri Lanka. England haven’t been at their best so far in this tournament, but the way they bowled at this venue on Sunday gives them a blueprint for victory. 

England vs. Pakistan Best Bets

Sahibzada Farhan is the tournament’s top run scorer after a century in Pakistan’s final group stage match, but Pakistan’s batting isn’t as formidable as England’s on paper. 

England’s top order hasn’t been firing thus far, however. Jos Buttler has been all at sea. Phil Salt got a decent score at the weekend, but he’s been a long way from his most fluent. Jacob Bethell and Tom Banton have been hot and cold.

With his blistering form in this World Cup, Will Jacks is a player to watch in this match. Jacks, who is +950 to be England’s top batter, scored 21 against Sri Lanka after a decisive 39 not out against Nepal and an unbeaten half-century in the win over Italy.

Early wickets from Jofra Archer were vital for England on Sunday. Archer looked sharper than he was in the first phase of this competition. He needs to be accurate with the new ball to stop Farhan getting off to a quick start. 

Aside from 46 against the United States, it’s been a quiet tournament for Babar Azam. I predict he will score under 21.5 runs in this match.
