PAK vs ENG Weather Report Live Today And Pitch Report Of Cardiff Stadium– 3rd T20I, Pakistan tour of England 2024

Cardiff's Sophia Gardens is all set to host the PAK vs ENG third T20I on Tuesday. May 28. The match starts at 11 pm IST which is 6.30 pm local time.

England won the first T20I by 23 runs after posting 183 on the board batting first and bowling out Pakistan for 160. It was a clinical game for the hosts with bat and ball and they look to be getting near their best ahead of the T20 World Cup.

England's dominating performance made former skipper Michael Vaughan very happy. He said that the England players would have been better prepared for the World Cup had they played in the IPL 2024 playoffs rather than this series against Pakistan.

Pakistan's disappointing performance in the second T20I might have made Vaughan make this statement. Pakistan's series win against Ireland makes no sense with them losing the second T20I against England. None of the batters crossed 50 in the second T20I and it was a comprehensive victory for The hosts in the end.

England now have all their players available for the last two games of the series. They will back the same side to deliver a winning performance in Cardiff and will then look to make changes to their playing XI if any.

Pakistan have a lot to think about heading into the last two games. They were completely outplayed in the second T20I and the side will not want to lose another game as that would mean that they will lose the series.
