T20: Buttler's England battles Babar Azam’s Pakistan

England faced upto Pakistan at Leeds for the season opener. But unfortunately rain washed out the game without a ball being bowled.

After a dismal defence of the 50-over World Cup in India, England now turn their focus to the shortest format with their T20 World Cup defence beginning in two weeks time.

Skipper Jos Buttler will be feeling the pressure but England do have is batters in form. One of them is Phil Salt, the opener has been in great form in the IPL with Kolkata Knight Riders, scoring 435 at an average of 39.55 and a strike rate of 182.0.

Pakistan's Babar Azam leads a squad of experienced stars. Shaheen Shah Afridi is undoubtedly the battering ram of Pakistan's bowling attack.
