Pakistan vs England 2nd T20: Head-to-Head, Classics & Live Guide

In a T20I series, the 2nd T20 is often the match that decides the narrative — the team that lost the opener fights to level it, and the winner pushes for an unassailable lead. Between Pakistan and England, the 2nd T20 has produced some of the most dramatic cricket of the last decade. This guide covers the classic 2nd-T20 encounters, the head-to-head context, and how to follow the next one live.

Classic 2nd-T20 Encounters

Karachi, 22 September 2022 — the record chase

The second T20I of England’s historic seven-match tour of Pakistan. England posted 199/5, built on Moeen Ali’s 23-ball 55 as stand-in captain. In reply, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan produced one of the great T20I partnerships: an unbroken 203 — Babar 110* off 66 (his second T20I hundred), Rizwan 88* off 51 — to win by 10 wickets with three balls to spare. It was Pakistan’s first 10-wicket win in T20Is since the famous victory over India at the 2021 World Cup, and it levelled the series 1–1.

The 2024 series — England’s control

In the four-match T20I series in England in May 2024 (ahead of that year’s World Cup), the second match at Edgbaston underlined England’s home dominance: Jos Buttler’s century powered England to a 23-run win on the way to a 2–0 series victory (two games were washed out).

World Cup meetings

Pakistan and England have met four times at T20 World Cups (2009, 2010, 2022, 2026), and England have won all four — most famously the 2022 final at Melbourne (won by 5 wickets) and the 2026 Super 8 clash at Pallekele (won by 2 wickets, chasing 165).
