England vs Pakistan 4th T20I Live Score and Latest Updates: Babar Azam And Co. Face Must-Win Scenario | Cricket News

The third T20I between these two formidable teams was washed out due to rain, leaving both sides eager to prove their mettle in this decisive match. In their last completed encounter, England showcased their batting prowess by posting a challenging total of 183 for 7 in 20 overs. Jos Buttler was the star of the show, playing a sensational knock of 84 runs off 51 balls. His aggressive and calculated innings provided a solid foundation for England. Will Jacks also contributed with a useful 37 runs, forming a key partnership with Buttler. However, England’s lower order, including Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone, failed to capitalize on the strong start. They struggled to accelerate, consuming too many deliveries and failing to inflict significant damage in the death overs. As a result, England had to settle for 183, despite being in a position to eye a score well over 200. In response, Pakistan’s chase got off to a rocky start. They lost their prolific opener Mohammad Rizwan and the promising Saim Ayub early in the innings. The burden then fell on captain Babar Azam and the dynamic Fakhar Zaman to revive the innings. Babar Azam, known for his elegant stroke play, managed to score 32 runs, while Fakhar Zaman looked in sublime touch, scoring a brisk 45. Fakhar’s dismissal, however, triggered a collapse, with Pakistan losing wickets at regular intervals. The middle and lower order failed to build on the foundation laid by Babar and Fakhar, and Pakistan’s innings eventually folded for 160, falling short by 23 runs.
