The first match gets underway at the historic Yorkshire Cricket Ground in Headingley, Leeds. Interestingly, this venue has only hosted one T20 international prior to this encounter, and coincidentally, it also featured Pakistan and England.
Based on the very small sample size of past results and pitch conditions, best new online bookmakers are expecting this to be a high-scoring affair. Three years ago, England posted 200 runs in 20 overs against Pakistan on this ground. The visitors fell 45 runs short in their run chase.
None of the batters managed to reach the three-figure mark that day, however. England captain Jos Buttler scored 59 runs off 39 deliveries that day, and he was the only half-centurion in the match. So, why are we forecasting a century in our 2024 T20I England vs Pakistan predictions?
Even though England will be playing their first T20 of the year, their players have been busy slog-hitting the ball. Phil Salt, Buttler, and Will Jacks – all have impressed with the willow for their respective Indian Premier League teams.
Pakistani batsmen have been getting runs in the UK as well. In the three matches they have played against Ireland earlier this month, Pakistan have managed to score 170+ runs in all of them. Babar Azam, Fakhr Zaman, and Mohammad Rizwan have thrived in Irish conditions. While the bowling attack might be more formidable this time around, we expect runs galore.
The boundaries in the ground are between 65-77 meters, which makes it quite small. It would be easier for the batsmen to knock the ball out of the park. The pitch is quite batting-friendly as well. So, we believe we will see a century at the YCG on Wednesday, which costs the risk with such a payout.
Phil Salt England Top Run Scorer @ 3.90 (29/10)

As mentioned above, Phil Salt comes off an excellent IPL campaign for Kolkata Knight Riders. He has scored 435 runs in 12 innings. The wicketkeeper-batsman maintained an incredible strike rate of 175.54.
We expect his form to remain unaffected despite the switch in scenery. We are confident enough to name Salt as the highest run scorer in our 2024 cricket ENG vs PAK betting picks.
Babar Azam Pakistan Top Run Scorer @ 2.80 (9/5)

Want to bet on England vs Pakistan 2024 cricket match? Avoiding the mercurial Babar Azam would be a near impossible task then.
The Pakistan captain remains the pillar of his team’s batting lineup and has bagged two fifties in the Ireland series. We expect some fireworks from Azam in this match as well.
