England v Pakistan 3rd T20I – Team News

• Dawid Malan – The number one T20I batsman is just struggling for form at present. He could be rested for this with the likes of Liam Livingstone and Jonny Bairstow shoved up the order.
• Adil Rashid – The spinner returned to the team at Headingley and took two wickets as England won the game. He has a good record at this ground and will want more.
• Saqib Mahmood – The pacer has been in excellent form in this series and the ODIs before it. He is at his home ground and can have a big role to play.
• Mohammad Hafeez – The experienced Pakistan batsman hasn’t really got going yet but will relish a return to this ground. It would be no surprise to see him return to form.
• Haris Rauf – The pacer took two wickets in the last game and the pitch at Old Trafford could offer him plenty to work with.

England v Pakistan 3rd T20I – Betting Tips and Predictions

Our experts have cricket betting tips for this match. These include the latest odds and are based on the form of the players.

Back Mahmood for Top Bowler

Saqib Mahmood was brilliant in the ODI series before this and has taken more wickets in the shortest format.

He took three more in the last game and now heads to his home ground of Old Trafford.

He’ll know conditions well and his extra pace can cause problems again.

Mahmood can be backed at 3.5 with 1xBet.

Hafeez to Shine at Old Trafford

Mohammad Hafeez has made starts in T20 cricket recently but not quite converted them to bigger scores.

A return to Old Trafford could see that change. He has 155 runs in just three T20 matches here and looks a value play.

His price is 5.0 with bet365.

Babar to Outscore Rizwan

Babar Azam has been excellent once more for Pakistan this tour, especially his 158 in the 3rd ODI and his 85 in the 1st T20I.

Mohammad Rizwan has also done well alongside him but it is hard not to favour the brilliant skipper over his opening partner.

Babar also has a useful record at this ground in T20Is, averaging 46 from four matches.

He is priced at 1.67 with bet365 to score more runs than Rizwan.
