May 30 2024 - 23:00 IST Kennington Oval - London, England ENG vs PAK

Match Prediction:

As a series plagued by poor weather wraps up on Thursday evening, England faces Pakistan in the fourth and final T20I. The first and third games were washed out, leaving England with the only win at Edgbaston on Saturday. Read on for our game preview. The match kicks off at The Oval, London at 18:30 local time on May 30th.

With England’s first match of the 2024 T20 World Cup set for Tuesday, expect some squad rotation in this T20I to ensure all players get some game-time before the tournament. Despite the changes, England should have the depth to secure a win at The Oval.

Pakistan, eager to deliver a strong performance, will be looking to bounce back in this game before their World Cup opener on Wednesday. Although they lost at Edgbaston, there were promising moments, and we anticipate a competitive showdown in this clash.

Winning Chances:

ENGLAND

60.4%

PAKISTAN

39.6%

Toss Prediction:

Only one of the last five T20Is at The Oval has been won by the team fielding first. Hence, we anticipate that the captains will choose to bat first in this match.

Weather Report:

The prognosis for most of the week in South London is for dry weather, although rain is expected in the early afternoon on Thursday. The temperature should rise to 16 degrees in the early evening, and we predict a full contest.

Pitch Report:

Pace bowlers should have more success on this surface than spinners, especially as overhead conditions are anticipated to be favorable. There will be some decent speed on the surface, and whomever bats first will aim for 200.

Head to Head:

England are currently undefeated in their past five meetings with Pakistan in this format. The hosts also lead the overall head-to-head by a 20-9 edge.

England Preview:

Captain Jos Buttler was scheduled to miss the third game of the series in Cardiff because his wife was ready to give birth, and we anticipate that he will also miss this match. Moeen Ali will lead the squad, which is likely to include Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, and Mark Wood.

England Squad Preview:

Ben Duckett, Phil Salt (wk), Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali (c), Liam Livingstone, Jofra Archer, Tom Hartley, Sam Curran, Mark Wood

Pakistan Preview:

With two of this series’ games rained off, both teams have struggled to get players on the field! Usman Khan and Abrar Ahmed were set to join the squad on Tuesday, and we anticipate them to be in the starting lineup again.

Pakistan Squad Predicted:

Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam (c), Azam Khan (wk), Iftikhar Ahmed, Usman Khan, Imad Wasim, Fakhar Zaman, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Amir, Abrar Ahmed

Pakistan vs New Zealand Prediction:

This series has been a tremendous disappointment for the players, fans, and broadcasters, but perhaps the extra break will assist both sides heading into the T20 World Cup. With slightly better weather anticipated for Thursday evening, the site might host an entertaining game to conclude the series. We foresee a high-scoring, competitive game, but we believe England will win.
