After suffering a 0-1 defeat in the Test series, Pakistan will try to record their first win of the England tour when they battle the hosts in a 3-match T20I series at Old Trafford in Manchester. All matches of the series will be played at this venue.

Out of 8 T20Is played at Old Trafford, three have not produced a result. The English team has won three of them, while the visiting teams have won two matches.

Pakistan will be looking forward to playing in Manchester because they thrashed England by nine wickets in their only T20I outing at this venue.

Wahab Riaz shone with the ball as he returned with figures of 3/18. Hasan Ali and Imad Wasim chipped in with two wickets each, which helped Pakistan keep England down to 135/7 in 20 overs.

Opening batsmen Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif slammed a fifty each for the Men in Green as they walked away with a win in 14.5 overs.

However, England are the reigning world champions in ODI cricket, and the Three Lions have not lost a single series after the COVID-19 break.
