All-rounder Shadab Khan became the fourth Pakistan cricketer to play 100 T20I matches after featuring in the fourth T20I against England at The Oval, London.
The 25-year-old joins the elite list of Pakistan players which includes Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez and current captain Babar Azam.
Malik has featured in 123 games while Babar and Hafeez have played 119 games respectively. Before this game, Shadab has taken 107 wickets - the most by a Pakistani bowler. In 48 innings, he has scored 625 runs.
Meanwhile, England are bowling first in the final T20I.
With two games washed out due to rain, only one match has been played where England secured a 23-run victory in the second T20I.
This match represents a final opportunity for both teams to address their shortcomings and finalise their combinations ahead of the T20 World Cup.
