The PAK vs ENG fourth and final T20I will be played at the Oval in London on May 30, Thursday. England are still leading the series 1-0 with their win in the second T20I. The first and the third games were washed out due to rain.

PAK vs ENG Team Analysis

Pakistan

Pakistan will be led by Babar Azam. The visitors might not have got the results that they wanted from the series. However, they still have a chance to level the series if they win the third T20I. The experienced players will have to step up in the last game. Gary Kirsten joined the national side as the white-ball head coach of the side.

The PCB confirmed that he will be with the squad for a two-year period and will oversee the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan, the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka, and the ACC T20 Asia Cup 2025.

England

Jos Buttler is the captain of the England side. He played a match-winning innings in the second T20I and missed the third T20I as he and his wife are expecting a child. If he misses the fourth T20I a swell, Moeen Ali will lead the side.

England have announced their T20 World Cup squad as well and this particular squad looks almost the same. The biggest positive for England from this series was Jofra Archer getting some game time in the second T20I.

PAK vs ENG Key Factors

Pitch Conditions

The Oval is among the better batting grounds in the UK. The venue has hosted 18 T20Is with 10 matches won by the team batting first and seven batting second. The average first innings score batting first is close to 150. However, with a forecast of rain around, there might be no game in the third T20I as well.

Form and Fitness

Both teams have all their payers now available for this series followed by the T20 World Cup. There are no injury concerns in either camp. Jos Buttler missed the previous game as he is expecting a child with his wife. Whether he will be back for the next game is yet to be known. There are no absentees in the Pakistan team as well.

Tactical Acumen

England are leading the series 1-0 with England skipper Jos Buttler delivering the knockout punch to Pakistan with the bat at Edgbaston. Babar's tactical acumen as captain will be tested if the match eventually happens at the Oval with Pakistan needing to win to level the series. He has been a poor captain in ICC events so far.
