Pakistan would like to make amends against England in the third and final Test, which begins on December 17 in Karachi. The series was lost by the hosts following consecutive defeats in Rawalpindi and Multan. Another dramatic Test between Pakistan and England ended in Multan, with England bowling out Pakistan in a nail-biting fourth innings run chase, winning by 26 runs and taking a 0-2 series lead with one game remaining. England has not won a Test series in Pakistan since Nasser Hussain’s side did it in late 2000. Current captain Ben Stokes is rewriting history in terms of Test cricket and what can be accomplished with a positive attitude and approach.
Pakistan have not been at their best throughout this series, and it’s tough to ignore the crucial bowling injuries that have left them unable to field their strongest lineup and leaking too many runs against this ultra-aggressive English batting outfit. Unfortunately for them, it would be a surprise to see the same concerns flare up again in this third Test in Karachi. That makes England the team to back to come up clutch in tight situations once more and win what would be their ninth victory in ten Test matches under Stokes’ management.
