Pakistan might have suffered a forgettable loss in the ODI series against England, but they seem to be a formidable force in the T20Is. Earlier, England inflicted a whitewash in the three-match ODI series against the visitors. Coming to the T20I series, the visitors got off to a phenomenal series as they won the first game of the series.

Batting first, Pakistan came out all guns blazing with the bat at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. As a result, the Babar Azam-led team managed to channel their aggression in the right way and went on to post their highest ever total in T20Is – 232/6 in their allotted quota of 20 overs.

Babar Azam was the highest run-getter for his team with his flamboyant knock of 49-ball 85 including 8 fours and 3 sixes at a strike rate of 173.47. While he was en route to scoring a brilliant century, David Willey dismissed him. Mohammad Rizwan added 150 runs with Azam for the first wicket.

Rizwan scored a superb 63 off 41 balls with the help of 8 boundaries and a six at a strike rate of 153.66. Although they have been brilliant on the field, they couldn’t just avoid confusion while taking the catch. Earlier, in the third ODI between Pakistan and England, Shadab Khan and Sarfaraz Ahmed were involved in hilarious banter after there was a misunderstanding between the duo while taking the catch.

Meanwhile, during the T20I opener, Haris Rauf and Sohaib Maqsood were seen getting involved in an accident. The incident took place when England all-rounder Moeen Ali tried to hit the ball off Mohammad Hasnain.
