Pakistan beat England by 10 wickets in the second Twenty20 International of a seven-match series at the Karachi National Stadium. Both captain Babar Azam and wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan didn’t lose a single game.
The pair’s partnership of 203 runs was the highest ever in a run chase in the shortest format, beating their own record of 197 runs, which they set against South Africa in 2021. It is also the best T20I pair by Pakistan ever.
They have also passed India’s captain Rohit Sharma and opening batsman, Shikhar Dhawan, in terms of the most runs scored in a partnership for any wicket in T20Is. Babar and Rizwan have scored 1929 runs in only 36 innings, while the Indian pair has scored 1743 runs in 52 innings.
“We thought we could successfully chase them.” Under the lights, the wicket looks good. It’s better than I thought. ” The team always believed in me, “Babar said after scoring 110 runs in 66 balls.
England won the first game of the series, but Pakistan tied it up (1-1) on Thursday. Now, England will try to win again.
