The cricket world is buzzing with anticipation as Pakistan and England prepare to face off in the third and final Test match of the series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on October 24, 2024. With the series tied 1-1, the stakes couldn't be higher as both teams look to claim a series win in this highly anticipated decider. After a disappointing start to the series, Pakistan bounced back in style during the second Test in Multan. With spin proving to be the key weapon, the home side dismantled England’s batting line-up, leveling the series with a commanding 152-run victory. Pakistan’s bold decision to drop their star players, including Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah, was a gamble that paid off handsomely. Under the leadership of new captain Shan Masood, the team showed resilience and adaptability, particularly on a turning pitch that left England struggling.
