Meanwhile, the likes of Harry Brook, Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone failed to score in double digits.Jofra Archer scored 12 runs in the last over which helped England conclude their innings at 183/7 in the allocated overs.For Pakistan, Shaheen bagged three wickets while Imad and Rauf picked two each. While Shadab Khan and Mohammad Amir failed to take a single wicket.In reply, Fakhar Zaman starred for Pakistan in a losing cause as the left-handed batter played an explosive knock of 45 runs off 21 balls with the help of three fours and five sixes. Babar scored 32 runs on 26 balls as he was the second-highest run-getter.Meanwhile, down the order, Iftikhar Ahmed (23 off 17) and Imad Wasim (22 off 13) provided crucial runs but they weren’t enough to propel Pakistan to victory.For England, Reece Topley picked three wickets. Moeen Ali and Archer bagged two each while Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid and Livingstone picked one. Harsha Bhogle Comments Submit مضمون کا ماخذ: اسکریچ کارڈز خریدیں
