ENG vs PAK:
Following his vital contribution in the Rajasthan Royals (RR) qualifying for the IPL 2024 Playoffs, Jos Buttler returned to England to captain his team against Babar Azam's Pakistan. The Men in Green arrived in England after securing a 2-1 victory in a three-match T20I series against Ireland last week.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam will have the chance to create history during the T20I series by breaking the record for most runs scored in the game's shortest format. With 117 games played, the 29-year-old has amassed 3955 runs; he only needs 83 more to tie Virat Kohli's record of 4037 runs in T20Is.
