Pakistan will take on England in the second T20I of the ongoing three-match series at National Stadium in Karachi on Thursday.
The visitors are leading the series 1-0 after winning the opening match by six wickets, thanks to Alex Hales heroics, who was making his international return after two years.
Pitch report:
The surface at Karachi offers descent support to both batters and bowlers, as was evident in the previous contest. The dew factor is likely to make its impact, so chasing here is an ideal option.

Pakistan: Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Haider Ali, Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Nawaz, Usman Qadir, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Shahnawaz Dahani
England: Alex Hales, Philip Salt (wk), Dawid Malan, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali (c), Sam Curran, David Willey, Luke Wood, Adil Rashid, Richard Gleeson
