ENG vs PAK Dream11 Prediction 1st T20I: England will take on Pakistan in 1st T20I of the three-match series
ENG vs PAK 1st T20I: Preview
This will be the final stop for these teams before the extravaganza which is the 2024 T20 World Cup.
England will go into the World Cup as the defending champions. Going into the tournament with a very similar side as compared to the last tournament. This three-match series against a formidable side will provide good practice for the squad to come and play together after many of them spent the last couple of months in the IPL.
On the other hand, this series means a lot to Pakistan. The finalists from the 2022 T20 World Cup have not had the best 7-8 months. Turmoil in the team and the board coupled with poor on-field performances has resulted in the side being in the news for all the wrong reasons. This series is a chance for the Men in Green to win back some favour with their fans.

ENG vs PAK Pitch Report
The pitch at Headingley to be used for this match looks flat and bouncy, which means we are in for a batting treat, with both sides scoring a lot of runs.
However, the overcast conditions might give pacers some early swing. Early wickets have the ability to derail any inning, which is a possibility here
ENG vs PAK Weather Report
It will be a cold and rainy evening in Leeds with temperatures around the 10 degrees Celcius mark and more than half a chance of rain. There is a decent chance that this match might not end up happening.
Strong humidity will bring in moderate dew if the rain doesn’t play spoilsport. Meanwhile, winds will be strong, making the conditions even more chilly for the fans.

ENG vs PAK Dream11 Prediction 1st T20I: Who Will Win The Match
The home team has the clear advantage coming into this one.
Most of these English players have been honing their t20 skills in the IPL for the past two months. While they have not played as a team for a couple of months, most of them have been in solid form, especially the batters.
And yes, England has not had the best time since the ODI World Cup last year, but the T20 defending champions will go into the World Cup as one of the favorites. And with the same squad just days before the tournament, one would at least expect them to win against a struggling Pakistan at home.
Pakistan has had a lot of troubles in recent times. In T20Is this year, they were almost whitewashed by New Zealand at home. They then tied a T20 series at the Kiwi’s home before losing one match in a three-game series against Ireland. Winning even a single game against this England side would be a tall order for Pakistan.
ENG vs PAK Dream11 Prediction 1st T20I: England will defeat Pakistan in the 1st T20I out of three.
