Babar Azam's Pakistan will take on Moeen Ali's England in the last and deciding T20I of the series that has been a closely-fought affair. The seven-match series is tied currently at 3-3 and the winner of the 7th T20I tonight will also take the cup. England came back strongly in the 6th T20I, all thanks to a blistering knock from their opening batter Phil Salt hitting unbeaten 88 off just 41 balls that included 13 fours and 3 sixes respectively. It was one of the finest knocks in the series which has already seen some brilliant innings from Mohammad Rizwan and a Babar Azam hundred.
Salt's innings has brought back pressure on Pakistan captain Babar Azam. The question are again being raised on his strike rate. While Salt smashed 88 at a strike rate of 214, Babar scored 87 in the same match, in the first innings, at 147. Pakistan fans felt, this difference largely, was the difference between the two teams. Earlier too, Babar and Rizwan, the two Pakistan openers in T20Is, have been criticised for not batting with the right tempo at the start of the innings. They take time to settle in, the same time in which other openers with an attacking mindset make more impact, is the arguement.
Criticism aside, Babar has been among runs in this series. He slammed his 2nd T20I ton too in the series and Pakistan fans will be hoping the team delivers the goods in the 7th T20I too vs England. Moeen Ali's ENG will be aiming to return home with the trophy on this historic tour.
