On the other hand, Pakistan will be playing their third game of the tournament.

Grace Road Pitch Report
The Grace Road pitch in Leicester is set to provide a well-rounded contest for both batters and bowlers. In the early stages, seamers are likely to benefit from the moisture underneath the surface and any greenish hue, especially with the evening conditions in England aiding swing and movement. However, as the game progresses, the pitch is expected to flatten out, giving batters the chance to play more freely on a quick outfield. If the surface dries, spinners could come into play, potentially generating some turn. Overall, the pitch promises an exciting game, offering chances for both pacers and batters to leave their mark. A measured start is recommended for the batters, but as the innings unfold, scoring opportunities should increase.
