Teams & Format
The format of the series will see the nations coming together in the Test format. A Test match is the oldest and longest of the three major formats.
Played over a maximum of five days, a Test will give both sides a total of 20 wickets split into two 10-wicket innings. The object of the game is to end as the team with the most runs scored. While Tests are much longer than 50 over and 20 over cricket, it is no less exciting as the most skilful batters and bowlers battle for supremacy.
As hosts, England will be the favourites. They boast a strong side with a number of quality players. To make things even more difficult for Pakistan, England are masters of their own conditions, making the most out of the conditions underfoot and overhead to make the ball swing in both directions.
Pakistan have not been able to call themselves a top team for some time. While they do have a handful of quality players, an inability to find some form of consistency means they have slipped someway below the best in the world.
Key Players & Prospects
| Player (Team) | Prospects |
|---|---|
| Harry Brook (England) | Arguably England's best multi-formats batter, Harry Brook has the ability to turn a game around in a matter of overs with his aggressive batting and imaginative shot-selection piling the pressure on the bowlers. |
| Babar Azam (Pakistan) | Pakistan's captain and talisman, Babar Azam will be key to Pakistan posting defendable scores. |
England vs Pakistan Test Series Popular Betting Markets
- Top Batter: With names like Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Duckett and Babar Azam all taking part in this series, picking the top scoring batter is not going to be easy. Mastering the swinging conditions or simply batting when there is little cloud cover could be the difference in this market as you try to nail your choice of which batter will score the most first innings runs.
- Method Of First Dismissal: This market will ask bettors to wager on how the first wicket of the day will fall. Take into account the conditions and which team and batters are in to bat first. A player like Ben Duckett, who rarely leaves the ball, is more likely to be caught out rather than out leg before or bowled as the opposition will likely want to get him on the drive, meaning the ball will not be on the stumps as often.
