Pakistan vs England Highlights And Cricket Score One-off Match - T20I Summary

End of Over : 19.2 ENG: 175/3

EOIN MORGAN HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH. That is it from this one-off T20I then. The 5-match ODI series between these two teams kicks off on Wednesday, May 8, 2019 at 1 pm local (1200 GMT). See yaa then. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

Hard luck for Pakistan. They tried hard but could not quite keep the pressure sustained. England ran a lot of twos and the fielders were found wanting. That affected the bowling as well with only three bowlers picking up wickets. Surprisingly, Sarfaraz did not employ Haris Sohail, whose left-arm spin is pretty effective.

Captain Morgan's form will be the key for England come the World Cup. He had been going through some patchy form but this knock will increase his confidence. His knock of 57 from 29 balls included 5 fours and 3 sixes and he got his form back.

Comfortable chase for England in the end. They lost Duckett early but Vince and Root got the hosts back on track. Then, Root and Morgan stitched a 65-run stand, which almost laid the platform for the win. And in the end, Denly's cameo 20 from 12 balls crushed any little hopes Pakistan had after Root's wicket.

19.2 6

Faheem Ashraf to Eoin Morgan. SIX! Game, set and match! Boy, Morgan is pumped up. He understands that this is the first game of a massive summer and this knock is so, so important. A length ball outside off, the skipper jumps down the track and flat-bats it down the ground, over long off! The fielder leaps but in vain! ENGLAND WIN BY 7 WICKETS AND 4 BALLS TO SPARE.

19.1 2

Faheem Ashraf to Eoin Morgan. Full and outside off, Morgan drives it through the covers for a couple. Excellent half century from Morgan, keeping his side ahead.

End of Over : 19 10 Runs 19.2: 167/3
18.6 0

Shaheen Afridi to Joe Denly. RUN OUT CHANCE, MISSED! Full and outside off, Denly drives it towards cover and sets off for a single. But Morgan does not respond. Denly has to return and is gone for all money but the fielder misses his shy at the striker's end.

18.5 1

Shaheen Afridi to Eoin Morgan. Around middle, pushed down to long on for one more.

18.4 1

Shaheen Afridi to Joe Denly. Full on middle, hammered down to long on for one. He has played well, Denly. 20 from just 11 balls.

18.3 1

Shaheen Afridi to Eoin Morgan. Outside off, pushed through the covers for a run.

18.2 1

Shaheen Afridi to Joe Denly. Excellent yorker, but that is dug out for a single.

18.1 6

Shaheen Afridi to Joe Denly. SIX! Has that sealed the deal for England? 11 needed from 11 now. A length ball outside off, Denly just gets across and swings it cleanly over mid-wicket!

End of Over : 18 12 Runs 19.2: 157/3
17.6 1

Hasan Ali to Joe Denly. Has another heave and drags it down to long on for another single. 12 from the over.

17.5 4

Hasan Ali to Joe Denly. INSIDE EDGE, FOUR! That is unlucky for the bowler. A length ball outside off, Denly jumps down the track, has a big heave but only manages a thick inside edge past the leg stump to the fine leg fence! 18 needed from 13 now.

17.4 1

Hasan Ali to Eoin Morgan. Outside off, pushed towards mid off for one more.

Summary

England will lock horns with Pakistan in the only T20I which will be followed by 5 match ODI series. Pakistan can be considered lucky to play a competing side like England just before ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Pakistan has selected Mohammed Amir for the tour against English team, however he has not been selected in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 squad.

 

England on the other hand has selected Jofra Archer for the series against Pak, even he has not been chosen in the World Cup squad. English players will look forward to defeat the number one T20 team Pakistan in their upcoming match.
