PAK vs ENG 2nd Test Dream11 Prediction: The second Pakistan vs England Test is upon us and this match might decide what course this series goes. England has the opportunity to win the series in this match itself.
Pakistan’s poor 2024 culminated in a very disappointing month where they lost three Test matches. First, they lost not only a Test match but the whole series against Bangladesh for the first time at home. Then, in the first Test against England, the Men in Green first conceded over 800 runs in an inning and then went on to lose six-wicket in a session on the same pitch, losing what should have been a drawn match on a flat pitch.
In August/September of this year, England took on and defeated Sri Lanka in a three-match Test series at home, but did lose one of the matches. Then, they defeated Pakistan in a famous win in the first match of the ongoing series, scoring the fourth-highest Test score in history. However, between these two series, the Three Lions first tied a three-match T20I series with Australia and then lost a five-match ODI series to the Kangaroos with a young team.
PAK vs ENG 2nd Test Dream11 Prediction: Team News
The biggest squad news for this match is that Pakistan has dropped their three biggest names Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah. Babar has been in poor Test form since the start of 2023, not scoring even a single 50 in this time and having an average of 21. As for Shaheen and Naseem, reports suggest that the two have opted out of the squad due to ‘niggles’.
As for England, Ben Stokes returns to the squad for the second Test and will likely return to captaining the side.

Pakistan vs England 2nd Test Pitch and Weather Report:
If the first match of this series, played on the same ground, is anything to go by, this pitch will be as flat as a German highway. In the first two innings of that game, a combined 1379 runs were scored. And despite Pakistan’s second inning showed, there is no support for any kind of bowler here.
On all five days of this Test match, it will be a hot afternoon in Multan. Temperatures will peak in the high 30s with it falling below the 30-degree mark as evening approaches. The winds will be weak and there will be no cloud coverage, meaning no chances of rain.
PAK Vs ENG 2nd Test Dream11 Captaincy Prediction:
Joe Root has been the highest run scorer in test cricket in 2024 so far. He has broken several records, including becoming England’s highest-ever Test run-scorer just in the last match. He has also scored five centuries this year. On a flat pitch like Multan, he will take the opposition’s bowling attack to town, as he did in the first match of the series.
Another player to keep an eye on is Harry Brook, who became only the fifth English batter to score a triple-century in the last match.
PAK vs ENG 2nd Test Dream11 Prediction: 3 Players To Watch Out For
The 3 players to watch out for in the Pakistan vs England 2nd Test are:
- England’s star-batter Joe Root is in red-hot form in Test cricket, having scored five centuries this year, four of which have come in the last six games and one of them is a massive double-ton, which came in just the last match.
- Pakistan all-rounder Salman Ali Agha was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dark first match of this series for Pakistan. While he failed with the ball like all other bowlers, taking just one wicket and going well over 6 rpo for 18 overs, he performed with the bat in both innings. He was one of three Pakistani batters to score a ton in the first inning and his team’s highest run-scorer in the second inning with 63 runs.
- England batter Harry Brook was the stand-out player of the first Test match of this series. Not only did he score a massive triple-ton, but he also scored the second-fastest one in the history of Tests. It was also the highest individual score in the format in almost five years.
