OVAL: Pakistan white-ball captain Babar Azam became the second batsman to reach 4,000 T20I runs in the fourth match of the series against England at the Oval.
The 29-year-old is only the second player to achieve this feat after India’s Virat Kohli, who has 4,037 runs.
The 29-year-old Azam is one of the best players in the shorter format as he has several spells to his name. The right-hander became the first skipper to score 2500 runs in T20Is.
England won the toss this morning and elected to bat first.
The four-match series led the hosts 1-0 as the first and third T20Is were called without a ball due to persistent rain in Leeds and Cardiff respectively.
