England are leading the 4-match T20I series by 1-0 after winning the 2nd match by 23 runs at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The 3rd T20I match was called off without bowling any ball due to consistent rain. Whereas the Babar Azam-led side are still searching for their first victory in the ongoing series. After losing the last game, Pakistan team will make some changes in the playing 11 for the upcoming match, which will be played tomorrow at Kennington Oval in London. It will be an important match for the Pakistan team after Former England cricketer Micheal Vughan's statement on Pakistan team that Playing IPL is better preparation than playing a T20 game against Pakistan. 

Throwing light on the 2nd T20I, England batted first and scored a total of 183 runs in 20 overs with the help of Jos Buttler’s half-century. In response, the Pakistan team got all out on the score of 160 runs while chasing the target. However, several things went wrong for the Shaheens but all-rounder Shadab Khan has been the main point of concern for the Pakistan team as he has given a total of 55 runs in his 4 overs of spell without taking any wickets. So, considering it's a do-or-die game for Pakistan, it won't be surprising if they bench the spin bowling all-rounder for his poor form and replace him with Abrar Ahmed into the team to bolster their spin bowling.

Apart from Shadab, young opener Saim Ayub hasn’t performed well in the series, managing to score just 68 runs in his previous five outings. However, given his immense potential, Saim might get an extended opportunity to prove his worth at the top. The Men in Green would try hard to win the final match of the series and level up the series for their pride before heading towards the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Pakistan's Probable XI For 4th T20I vs ENG

Mohammad Rizwan, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam (C), Fakhar Zaman, Azam Khan (WK), Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Shaheen Afridi, Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Amir/Abbas Afridi
