It’s England vs Pakistan in the next Super 8 T20 World Cup 2026 clash on February 24. After their first match against New Zealand was washed out due to rain, this contest against England is essentially a do-or-die game for Pakistan. A loss here could potentially end their World Cup campaign.

The English put in a solid performance in their first match, defeating hosts Sri Lanka on the back of an inspiring bowling display. Batting first, England struggled on a slow, spinning Pallekele wicket, managing just 146. However, their bowlers stepped up, taking five wickets inside the powerplay, with Will Jacks picking up three. Their match against Pakistan is on the same ground, so they’ll be keen to seal a semi-final spot with a win.
Pakistan have several in-form spinners as well, including Usman Tariq, Shadab Khan, and Mohammad Nawaz. Saim Ayub and Salman Ali Agha can also roll their arm over. If the pitch plays similarly to the Sri Lanka vs England game, don’t be surprised if Pakistan bowl 17-18 overs of spin – which will be a real test for England’s batters.
The weather forecast in Pallekele is a positive one, with minimal chances of rain. However, Kandy’s weather is notoriously unpredictable. If rain plays spoilsport again, Group B could get very close, with qualification heavily dependent on net run rate.
