The 7th and final T20 of the series is being played between Pakistan and England at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. In this match, Pakistan decided to bowl first after winning the toss. England has scored as many as 150 runs in the first 15 overs. Haris Rauf, who brought the 16th over of the innings, almost caught batsman Harry Brook on the third ball, but Babar Azam dropped a simple catch at mid-off and was given life.
As soon as captain Babar Azam dropped the catch, bowler Haris Rauf turned red with anger and sat there holding his head. All eyes were on the Pakistan skipper as he is known for grabbing the balls more often than not. Babar Azam’s face was also telling that he has made a big mistake because Harry Brook is an explosive batter.
