England’s tour of Pakistan, 3rd Test, Pakistan vs England: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

Pakistan will lock horns with England in the 3rd Test of England's tour of Pakistan at the National Stadium, Karachi.

Pakistan’s performance in home tests hasn’t been a great one this year, having lost their last three tests, with one coming against Australia in March and two against England in the ongoing series. They have already lost the series and are nearly out of the race for World Test Championship 2023 final qualification. The hosts will aim to end the series on a high note and give their home fans something to cheer about.

On the other hand, England’s Bazball approach in Test cricket is doing wonders for them as they have lost just one Test under the leadership of the Ben Stokes-Brandon McCullum duo. They have played aggressive and fearless cricket and are not scared about losing in search of a win. This was witnessed in both games, where they won the matches by just 74 and 26 runs, respectively. England will now aim to continue their winning momentum and whitewash the hosts.
