England thrash Pakistan by 7 wickets in fourth T20I

London: England beat Pakistan by seven wickets in the 4th T20I, winning the four-match series by 2-0. The green shirts set a target of 158 runs to win which the English team achieved in the 16th over.

A disciplined, all-round bowling performance from England, followed by a brutal barrage of top-order hitting from openers Jos Buttler and Phil Salt saw England crush Pakistan by 7 wickets with 27 balls to spare, and claim a 2-0 series win.

Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, who opened the batting for the first time this year, got Pakistan off to a steady start in the first four overs before finishing the powerplay strongly; the 59 they managed was Pakistan's second-highest powerplay score since January. But England struck back with five wickets for 27 runs either side of a brief rain break, spearheaded by Adil Rashid.
