KARACHI: Pakistan cricket team is hoping to bounce back in the fourth T20I after losing the third fixture by 63 runs in the historic seven-match series against England today (Sunday).
At 7:30 pm, Pakistan and England will square off in a high-intensity match at Karachi’s National Stadium.
With four games remaining, England leads the series 2-1, therefore Pakistan is aiming for a victory to tie it.
Just a month before the T20 World Cup, scheduled to be held in Australia, Pakistan has significant problems with both their bowling and their batting, raising serious doubts about the team’s composition.
While England continues to test their healthy bench, Pakistan is not being able to do so due to lack of top players on the bench and injuries to some key players.
Given the weaknesses in their batting lineup, Pakistan will need to perform well with the ball if they want to win the match.
Several Pakistani players took part in an optional training session on Saturday at the NSK, including stumper Mohammad Haris, Shan Masood, Asif Ali, Khushdil Shah, Naseem Shah, Abrar Ahmed, and Amir Jamal.
On Sunday (today), it will be the final performance of the Karachi leg. The teams will travel to Lahore for three championship games, which will be played there on September 28, September 30, and October 2.
