England heads into T20 World Cup title defense with 2-0 series win over Pakistan
Associated PressLONDON — England will head into the defense of its T20 World Cup title on the back of a 2-0 series victory over Pakistan after coasting to a seven-wicket win in their fourth and final match at The Oval on Thursday. After restricting Pakistan to 157 all out, England powered to its target with 27 balls remaining largely thanks to Phil Salt’s 45 and captain Jos Buttler’s 39 in their opening stand of 82 off 38 balls. There were showers around for the series finale in London too, but England and Pakistan played through them — save for 20 minutes during the Pakistan innings when players went off the field. “There’s a good feeling around the squad,” Buttler said, “and they are all stepping up and performing.” Put into bat, Pakistan went hard early in the rain and reached 59-0 by the final ball of the powerplay — the opening six overs — when Jofra Archer removed Babar Azam in the fit-again fast bowler’s second over.
