England vs Pakistan, 2nd T20I: Probable XI, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details

The second game of the four-match T20I series between England and Pakistan will be played on May 25. The action shifts to Birmingham where Edgbaston will play host to this exciting encounter on Saturday.

It was a damp start to the series. The first game was scheduled to take place on Wednesday at Headingley in Leeds but the rain played spoilsport. Persistent rain saw the game getting abandoned without toss.

Both the teams now travel to Birmingham for the second game. It is a day game and they will be hoping that the rain stays away and they get a chance to take the field. It is an important series for both England and Pakistan as it gives them a chance to prepare for the T20 World Cup, starting from June 1.

Jofra Archer is back in the English squad. He is now back in action at the highest level after a year. Haris Rauf will be making a comeback after more than six months. It remains to be seen how they both go about their business in the second T20I if the weather permits.
