England and Pakistan are set to face off in Match 45 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Super Eights at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele on Tuesday, February 24.
England enter the clash brimming with confidence following a dominant 51-run victory over Sri Lanka. Batting first, they posted 146/9, with Phil Salt playing a crucial innings of 62 to stabilize the side. Although the total seemed modest, England’s bowlers turned the game decisively during the powerplay. Will Jacks produced a standout spell, taking 3 wickets for 22 runs, while Jofra Archer dismantled Sri Lanka’s top order. After Sri Lanka slumped to 34/5 within six overs, they could never recover and were eventually bowled out for 95 in just 16.4 overs. The win not only earned England two important points but also significantly enhanced their net run rate.
Pakistan, in contrast, haven't really had a chance to find momentum in the Super Eights. Their opening match against New Zealand in Colombo was abandoned due to rain, resulting in both sides sharing a point. With no real match play yet, Pakistan will be eager to kickstart their campaign against a confident England side.
