Pakistan, meanwhile, have their own points of focus. Sahibzada Farhan’s prolific run in T20 cricket since the start of 2025, including five hundreds in that period, offers them a game-changer at the top. However, while Farhan’s form is a major positive, the rest of Pakistan’s batting order is yet to make a significant mark. All average below 30 in this tournament and none has registered a fifty-plus score, placing added pressure on Farhan to provide strong starts. Against an England attack that did well to defend 146 against Sri Lanka, Pakistan’s batters could have their work cut out.
