Pakistan Aims To Level Series Against England In 3rd T20I Showdown

Pakistan and England are set to clash in the third T20I at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on Tuesday, May 28. England currently leads the series 1-0 after winning the second match by 23 runs. The first game of the four-match series was abandoned due to rain.

A victory in Cardiff will secure an unassailable 2-0 lead for England. Pakistan, on the other hand, will aim to bounce back and keep their hopes alive in the series. Pakistan recently announced their 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup 2024 and will look to gain momentum with a few wins in England.

In the second T20I, Pakistan was bowled out for 160 while chasing a target of 184 runs. Babar Azam scored 32 runs, and Fakhar Zaman contributed 45 runs. However, five Pakistani batters were dismissed for single-digit scores as Reece Topley and Jofra Archer took five wickets between them.
