In the match held on Friday, the English batsmen showed an aggressive game and shook the confidence of the Pakistani bowling line-up. The series was tied at 3-3. The seventh and last match will be decisive. Rauf was rested, both will return to the playing XI.

Wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Haris, who failed in the debut match, and Shahnawaz Dhani, who endured a severe beating, will have to vacate the place. Haider Ali also did not play a big innings. Batter team is back in the hotel but Khushdil Shah will be included while giving them rest, despite these changes, Pakistan team will continue to face the challenges of better batting in the strike rate and middle order.
Captain Babar Azam's bat has started to yield runs again, the return of in-form Mohammad Rizwan will strengthen the top order, but the latter will have to learn from the aggressive batting of the English batsmen in the last match, the return of Haris Rauf will strengthen the pace battery. Power will improve but other bowlers also need to improve line length.
If England chases down the target, Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz will have to shoulder the responsibility of controlling the run-rate as well as picking up wickets in view of the dew, both of them are expected to perform better in the batting as well.

Talking to the media after the defeat in the sixth match, national team captain Babar Azam said that the English batsmen made the best use of power play to win the match. Credit should be given to openers Phil Salt and Alex Hales, both of them. Gave a good start which shifted the momentum to them, we thought it was a good score although 10-15 more runs could have been scored.
He said that the players have to show responsibility, here there is dew and the ball remains a little wet due to which fast bowlers and spinners face difficulty, while batting in the second innings due to dew, the ball is in good shape for shots. Comes to bat, these kind of situations will keep coming up and the green shirts have to face them, we have won matches in good fashion before, the team has to give confidence.
The captain said that the confidence gained from previous successes should not make a difference, we will discuss the mistakes that have been made so that they do not happen in the next match, we will also discuss what to do differently in such a situation. Matches come into our hands, the more runs you stop and dot balls in bowling, the better it will  class="tw-data-text tw-text-large JgzqYd RES9jf tw-ta" data-placeholder="Translation" dir="ltr" id="tw-target-text" style="border: none; font-family: "Google Sans", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: -10px; margin-top: -10px; max-height: 999999px; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 10px 0.14em 10px 0px; position: relative; resize: none; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 328px;">On the other hand, changes are also expected in the playing eleven of England in the decisive match of the series, Mark Wood and Chris Woakes, who will test Pakistan's batsmen, will return, Richard Gleeson and David Valley may have to sit out, Phil Salt, Alex Hales. , Ben Duckett, David Malan, Harry Brook and Moeen Ali can all bat at a strike rate of over 200. If the aggressive batsmen are not controlled early on, it will be difficult to prevent the visiting team from scoring big. The team will probably prefer to bowl first.

Today the seventh T20 will be played under new playing conditions


Today, the seventh T20 match between Pakistan and England will be played under new playing conditions, it has been formally applied from October 1, now in case of a player being caught, the new batter will handle the strike even if the non-striker has completed the catch. The ban on the use of saliva to shine the ball has already been made permanent, even if the out-batsman has crossed the ball before it is done.

The bowler will no longer be able to threaten the striker coming out of the crease with a throw before going for the run-up as the ball will be dead after it is in his hands. It will be said, it has been removed from the category of unfair play.

The penalty of placing 4 fielders outside the inner circle in the remaining time in case of not completing the innings within the stipulated time will now be applicable in ODI cricket after T20 as well.

All these rule changes were recommended by the ICC Cricket Committee headed by Bharti Board Saro Ganguly, with PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja as an observer.
