Although Pakistan played without all the big lights of the team under the floodlights in Lahore in the sixth match, Rizwan returned to the XI today. Khushdil Shah, Haris Rauf, and Muhammad Hasnain also returned for the important match. One change to the England XI, Chris Woakes replaces Richard Gleeson.

After losing the toss and batting, keeping the rhythm of the previous match, England started beautifully. 39 runs on the scoreboard in 4 overs. However, in the first ball of the fifth over, Alex Hales fell victim to Hasnain and returned to 18 runs. One ball later, Philip Salt was caught in a run-out trap for a personal 20 runs. However, England overcame the temporary disaster in the aggressive duo of Malan-Duckett’s 62 runs. In the 10th over, Ben Duckett was also run out for 30 runs off 19 balls to take the team to a three-figure home.

Despite not batting well in the entire series, Malan stood up with the bat today. Along with Harry Brock, Dalpat led the innings. The duo collected 108 runs in an unbeaten 61-ball partnership. Malan played an innings of 78 runs from 47 balls with 8 fours and 3 sixes, Harry Brock completed his innings with 46 runs from 29 balls and four sixes. England collected 209 runs.

Chasing the target of 210 runs, the eyes of Pakistan fans may have turned to the second match of the series. However, both the dreamers of that match went back to the middle of the team’s 5 runs. Iftekhar also returned for 19 runs in the last over of the power play. Khushdil Shah has also returned to 27. Asif Ali failed even today. Nawaz also did not get a run. Pakistan has lost the match by then, how is 81 possible in 2 overs?

After Nawaz’s departure, not coming down Shadab Khan’s seemed to indicate that Pakistan had accepted its destiny. There is nothing to say about Pakistan in this match. But Shan Masood’s standard saving fifty might just make the scoreboard look good. Chris Woakes took 3 wickets for 26 runs, and 2 wickets went to Willie. Pakistan’s innings stopped at 142 runs. England won by 67 runs.
