Let the fun begin!

After two one-sided series, England and Pakistan step into the land of unpredictable i.e. the world of T20's. Before this fun begins, there are a few points to be noted. England are the reigning World T20 champs and unpredictable Pakistan are currently the uncrowned king of this format. England have the confidence and momentum to win and Pakistani tigers are once again cornered where they are the most dangerous. England have another chance of conquering an Asian side in Asia and Pakistan have the golden opportunity to avenge the ODI whitewash. All of these points may be important off the field, but frankly, they do not mean much on the field. One aggressive partnership or one breathtaking spell of bowling can change the course of a T20 game. It is equally important to note that in shorter formats quick decisions and proactive approach matters the most. Hence, in my opinion, the difference between the winner and the loser will be the number of critical mistakes.
