Today's weather update for Pakistan, England second T20I

Following the cancellation of the first T20I due to rain in Leeds, Pakistan and England are gearing up for the second match of their four-match series at Edgbaston Stadium, Birmingham. 

Scheduled to start on 6:30 pm (Pakistan time) on Saturday, the weather forecast from the BBC promises no rain, though the skies will be lightly clouded with cold and gentle winds.

This weather update is welcome news for both teams, who are eager to play after the rain-affected first match. With the T20 World Cup 2024 looming, this series serves as a crucial opportunity for both sides to solidify their squads. This series is their final preparation before the World Cup, making uninterrupted play vital for both teams.

Recently, Pakistan engaged in two T20I series, one against New Zealand at home, and another against Ireland in Dublin. The home series against New Zealand ended in a 2-2 draw, with one match abandoned due to rain, while Pakistan secured a 2-1 victory over Ireland. Despite this win, several issues became apparent for Pakistan that need addressing before the World Cup.

England, meanwhile, last played a T20 series against the West Indies in January, which they narrowly lost 3-2.
