After the first Test ended in a draw, team England and Pakistan are now looking forward to the 2nd Test at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. Scheduled for 22 October 2015, the match will be another closely knit affair.
The first match in Abu Dhabi witnessed some exceptional batting and bowling skills by players from both sides. Within the first inning itself, both the teams had amassed scores of 523 and 598 for Pakistan and England, respectively. However, they failed to keep up the consistency, which is why match was drawn. Ahead of Pakistan vs England 2nd Test, the two teams are looking forward to remain consistent and bring in the best of players.
A reason of delight for favorites, Pakistan, is comeback of wicket-taker Yasir Shah, who can single-handedly lead an impressive bowling attack. The English players displayed an aggressive game, while Pakistanis do have some scope of improvement before they meet up on Thursday. Considering the power-packed squad of hosts, who have played brilliantly this season, it is quite likely that they have better chances of registering yet another win. Here, we bring you an analysis of who we think are going to be the top players and betting odds and predictions for Pakistan vs England 2nd Test.
After having been introduced in the squad after around five years, Shoaib Malik proved his worth yet again by hitting a score of 245 runs. Shafiq also hit a century. Younis Khan, Hafeez and Misbah-ul-Haq also scored a few runs. The bowling department looks balanced with the arrival of Shah. Zulfiqar, Imran Khan and Wahab Riaz makeup for a good team support. Hosts are credible enough to lead their team towards a victory, which is why they are emerging as favorites.
Team England need to find a counter-attack to Yasir, although Adil Rashid has also impressed with his bowling skills. The players have been batting really well. Cook led from front and smashed an excellent score of 263 runs. Ian Bell, Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes also made their presence felt. Rashid hit the bull’s eye with 5-wickets in 1st Test. James Anderson, Joe root and Moeen Ali are credible names to create pressure on opponents. However, Johny Bairstow’s lack of form is a cause of concern.
It cannot be denied that the team can put up a good show on the whole.
At this very pitch, the home team beat England in 2012 by a margin of 10 wickets, which gives them an advantage. Following the pattern in 1st Test, it is expected that toss winning side will opt to bat first. Weather will remain sunny and if things go as per plan then the hosts are expected to win 2nd Test. The possibilities of a draw- like situation can also not be denied. The betting odds for Pakistan vs England 2nd Test according to trusted online book makers stand at-
Pakistan- 2.48, England- 3.1 and Draw- 3.6
