England vs Pakistan 4th T20 tips and predictions: Will Jacks to smash England to series victory

After two abandoned matches in this series, England will be hoping that they get some much needed match practice at The Oval ahead of Tuesday's T20 World Cup opener against Scotland.

The only game they've been able to play of the three scheduled matches so far was at Edgbaston on Saturday and England won comfortably by 23 runs, with captain Jos Buttler and Will Jacks starring with the bat.

Jacks, who has impressed in the IPL this year, looked right at home on the international stage last time out with a well made 37 and with a return to his home ground, he could be in with a chance of being the top run scorer in England's innings and his odds offer good value.

Pakistan's bowlers kept the world champions in check in the second T20 with Shaheen Shah Afridi picking up three wickets, however their batting performance fell short of the mark.

However, Fakhar Zaman looked good for his 45 and is in with a shout of being the visitors' top run maker in this match.

Another thing that was great to see at Edgbaston was the return of Jofra Archer, who claimed figures of two for 28, but it remains to be seen whether the England quick will play in this match given that Mark Wood was due to play at Cardiff before play was abandoned so the Durham quick may get the nod ahead of Archer.

One person who will be playing is Ali and the experienced off-spinner picked up the vital top order wickets of Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan while opening the bowling at Edgbaston and he has tasty odds to be the hosts' top wicket taker, so if you fancy a risky bet Ali is your man.

If the weather gods keep the rain away from The Oval then we can see England wrapping up the series with another comfortable win.
