England Vs Pakistan 4th T20I LIVE UPDATES: Pakistan will face England in the fourth and final T20I of the ongoing four-match series in London on Thursday (May 30). The last international match before the start of the T20 World Cup 2024 is scheduled to take place at Kennington Oval. The hosts are leading the series by 1-0 after winning the second match played in Birmingham on May 25 by 23 runs. The first and third T20Is in Leeds and Cardiff were washed out due to rain, and there are high chances of rain playing spoilsport in London as well on Thursday.
The Men in Green would like to get the better of England in the fourth T20I to draw the series and travel to the USA for the T20 World Cup 2024 with some confidence. England’s white-ball captain, Jos Buttler, who was not available for selection in the third T20I due to the birth of his third child, is almost certain to miss the fourth game as well.
Buttler was England’s leading run scorer in the second T20I, and his absence will be a big boost for the Men in Green. In his absence, Will Jacks or Jonny Bairstow will open the innings, along with KKR star Phil Salt. As far as Pakistan is concerned, the Babar Azam-led side could drop Shadab Khan from the playing XI and include pacer Naseem Shah in his place.
TOSS: The toss is scheduled to be held at 10 PM IST
PITCH REPORT: The pitch at the Kennington Oval is batting friendly but also offers assistance to pacers as well. The average score at this grouf i 171. The overcast conditions means the ball can seam and swing a bit
WEATHER REPORT: The weather is not looking promising at the Kennington Oval with rain being forecast for the entire duration of the match.
