ENG vs PAK Prediction- Who Will Win Today’s Match Between England and PAKISTAN

In the batting department, England is miles ahead of Pakistan in skill and execution.
With the arrival of Mohammad Haris, Pakistan has found a breath of fresh air in its batting. The form that Babar and Rizwan showed in the semifinals will also give much-needed confidence to them.
In the pace bowling department, Pakistan is probably the best side in the competition.
The injury to Mark Wood has had a serious hit on the English bowling unit. Chris Jordan will replace him in the eleven as he did in the last match.
Dawid Malan is injured and will be replaced by Phil Salt in the XI.
The last time these two sides faced off against each other in a T20I match, England defeated Pakistan by 67 runs.
