Rain Might Affect the Fourth T20I in London
The final T20I match of pak vs eng is scheduled for Thursday at Kennington Oval in London. However, there’s a 71% chance of rain, which could disrupt the game.
Yesterday, the third T20I in Cardiff was canceled due to rain. England leads the series 1-0 after winning the second T20I by 23 runs. The first match in Leeds was also canceled because of rain.
This is the last series before the T20 World Cup 2024, which starts on June 1 in the USA and West Indies. England is the current champion, having won the last T20 World Cup against Pakistan in 2022.
For security reasons, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has assigned two additional security officers to the Pakistan team. This is because fans have been surrounding players, including captain Babar Azam, outside their hotel, causing some issues.
