The stage is set for a winner-takes-all T20I series decider in Manchester on Tuesday evening between England and Pakistan. With the series currently tied at 1-1, the third and final game at Old Trafford offers both teams not only the chance of a series victory but also a useful exercise in replicating the knock-out nature of competition both will encounter during the T20 World Cup. With another hot, sunny evening forecast, things really could not be set-up any better.
