Source: Twitter PAK vs ENG 2nd T20I Preview: Babar Azam's Pakistan will look to make a comeback in the T20I series when they take on Jos Buttler's England in the 2nd match of the series on Thursday evening (September 2). England made short work of Pakistan in the 1st T20I, winning the game by 6 wickets. One of the biggest worries for Pakistan, heading into this contest, is the form of their middle order batters. They have struggled to get going and maintain a healthy strike rate while batting. Pakistan scored just 158/7 in their alloted 20 overs after being asked to bat first by Buttler. Mohammad Rizwan smashed 68 in quick time but others, especially in the middle order, failed to score.
