ENG vs PAK Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 45, Super 8, ICC T20 World Cup 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for Match 45, Super 8 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 between ENG vs PAK to be played in Pallekele.

England have yet to deliver a performance as per their standard in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. But despite that, they are virtually one win away from making it to the semis. England are coming off a 51-run win over Sri Lanka as they earned their first points in the Super 8 round.

Will Jacks won his third MOTM in five games this edition. England will now be in action against Pakistan in Pallekele. This contest has a scheduled start of 7 PM IST on February 24 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.

Pakistan‘s last game against New Zealand was washed out. That has put them in a must-win situation. If they lose here, they might get knocked out. They have been under a scanner for their combination and selection, but they are not in a position to make a mistake here.

ENG vs PAK: Pitch Report

The wicket at Pallekele has been tough for batting, which was visible in the ENG vs SL game. There was turn and grip from the wicket very early, and batting conditions became challenging with time. Something similar will be expected for this game as well.

Hence, batting first can be a good option, because the conditions might slow down, and under light the new ball moves more.
