England captain Harry Brook won the toss and elected to bowl first in the opening match of the tri-series against Pakistan at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. Pakistan enters this game after a 37-run victory over Sri Lanka in the series’ first match, aiming to solidify their position for the October 31 final. Despite winning against Sri Lanka, Pakistan’s bowlers struggled with heavy dew during the second innings, contributing to a late batting collapse by the visitors. Captain Brook cited the anticipated dew as a key factor in his decision to field first, hoping to restrict Pakistan’s scoring and ensure an easier chase. Salman Ali Agha was a key contributor to Pakistan’s 305-run total against Sri Lanka, while Babar Azam and debutant Saad Baig also displayed promising form. Both England and Pakistan have announced their playing XIs for the match, with Pakistan maintaining an unchanged lineup.
