Tag: Pakistan vs England Fourth T20I

KARACHI: After a thrilling victory in the fourth T20I against England, Pakistan registered another interesting record to its credit as they won every landmark match of their T20I journey. 

The Green Shirts played their 200th T20I match on Sunday at National Stadium Karachi and the victory maintained the national team’s streak of defeating its opponents on important occasions.

Pakistan recorded triumphs in their first, 50th, 100th, 150th and now 200th match of the shortest format.

Men in Green played their first T20I match against England on August 28, 2006, at Bristol and defeated the hosts by five wickets in the match.

In its 50th T20I, the national team crushed Bangladesh by 50 runs at Shere Bangla Stadium in Dhaka on November 29, 2011.

The landmark 100th T20I witnessed another comprehensive victory by the Green Shirts as they beat the United Arab Emirates by 7 wickets in Asia Cup 2016 held in Bangladesh.

Pakistan locked horns with Bangladesh at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium in their 150th T20I on January 24, 2020, and the home side clinched the victory by five wickets on that occasion.

Besides these noteworthy victories, the national team also holds the record for the most number of wins in T20 international as they won 123 out of 200 matches, they’ve played so far.

KARACHI: England white-ball head coach Mathew Mott reiterated that the side would not take undue risks with Jos Buttler ahead of ICC T20 World 2022 in Australia. 

England white-ball captain Buttler, who has been recovering from a calf injury, has not played so far in the ongoing seven-match series against Pakistan.

Mott, while speaking at a post-match press conference, expressed that Buttler might get a chance in the last two matches of the series.

“With regard to Jos (Buttler), he’s still a while off, he’s not a player we want to take a risk on at this stage, so close to the World Cup, and it was a reasonably significant injury that he had,” he said.

“But we’ll just try and see how we go and maybe in the last game or two we might give him a chance,” he added.

Talking about the nail-biting fourth T20I between the two teams, the England coach called it an ‘amazing game of cricket’ and ‘fantastic opportunity’ for the player to learn how to play under pressure.

Pakistan defeated England by just three runs in the final over after a sensational display of pace bowling by pacer Haris Rauf in the 19th over.

“When we sent them (Pakistan) to batting, we were expecting 200 but they made that (167-run target) enough” he maintained.

Pakistan have levelled the series 2-2 following their win on Sunday with the fifth game scheduled at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday.

KARACHI: Fast bowler Haris Rauf disclosed that he had planned beforehand how to bowl Liam Dawson and other tail-enders in the 19th over and turn the game into Pakistan’s favour. 

The right-arm pacer powered the Green Shirts to a thrilling win in the fourth T20I against England as he bowled a match-winning second-last over when the game was just slipping away from the hosts’ hand.

Speaking to a post-match press conference, Haris revealed that he had started making plans in the 18th over, when Dawson was storming Mohammad Hasnain and scored 24 runs, that how he would be bowling to him in the next over.

“I had an idea where to bowl him and obviously the target was to take his wicket at that moment and turn the game,” he said.

“I had confidence that if I bowled my best deliveries to the tail-enders, we would win the match,” he added.

England fell just three runs short in the final over, courtesy of a brilliant 19th over from Haris, who struck twice to remove the danger man Liam Dawson and Olly Stone to bring the hosts back in the game after an expensive 18th over from Hasnain.

With the astounding win, Pakistan have levelled the historic seven-match T20I series against England by 2-2 with the remaining three matches to be played at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium.

KARACHI: Pakistan speedster Haris Rauf bowled a game-changing 19th over as he struck twice before left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz shone with three 3/35 and bolstered Pakistan to defend 167 and seal the fourth T20I of the seven-match series.

Set to chase 167, England fell just three runs short in the final over, courtesy of a brilliant 19th over from Haris, who struck twice to remove the danger man Liam Dawson and Olly Stone to bring the hosts back in the game after an expensive 18th over from Mohammad Hasnain.

Earlier, Dawson had charged on young pacer Hasnain and scored 24 runs in the 18th over to bring England back into the game after the touring side lost quick wickets in the middle overs.

The touring side had a dismal start to their run chase as they lost three wickets for a mere 14 runs in two overs with Hasnain striking twice in his first, to give Pakistan an upper hand over England.

England’s dependable pair of Ben Duckett and Harry Brook attempted to anchor the run chase with a gritty 43-run partnership for the fourth wicket but Nawaz dampened their hopes in the eighth over as he trapped Duckett in his legs for 33.

The touring skipper Moeen Ali then joined Brook in the middle and put on a crucial 49-run partnership to keep their side in the hunt but Nawaz struck again to provide another vital breakthrough to Pakistan and castled Moeen for 29 and England, as a result, slipped to 106/5 in the 14th over.

Mohammad Wasim Jr then further added to the misery of the English side as he outclassed Brook with a slower delivery in the 15th over, who walked back after scoring 34 off 29 deliveries, laced with two boundaries and a six.

Wasim Jr then bowled the final over after Haris’ brilliant 19 over. England’s tailender Reece Topley looked to steal a run on the second delivery of the over but a direct hit from Shan Masood led the men in green to a thrilling victory over England in the fourth T20I.

Nawaz and Haris bagged three wickets each for Pakistan, while Hasnain claimed two. Wasim Jr, on the other hand, made one scalp.

The home side were off to a decent start batting first on the invitation of England captain Moeen Ali as the pair of captain Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan amassed 97 runs for the first wicket.

The pair was majorly dominated by wicketkeeper batter Rizwan, who had amassed his 19th T20I half-century at a rapid pace while Babar, on the other hand, struggled to emulate his partner and as a result, fell victim to Dawson in the 12th over.

The second match centurion Babar could score 36 off 28 deliveries with the help of three boundaries.

Rizwan then joined hands with Shan Masood, who was promoted to number three and added 52 runs for the second wicket. The touring side’s bowlers, however, dominated the batting pair as they barred them from scoring freely in the middle overs.

Shan, who was struggling to find the rhythm fell in the 19th over after scoring a snail-paced 21. He faced 19 deliveries in the course of his knock and could hit a boundary.

Rizwan, who was eyeing his second T20I century, fell 12 runs short of it as Reece Topley struck twice in the final over to remove the former. He top-scored for Pakistan with 88 off 67 deliveries, laced with nine boundaries and a six.

Right-handed hard-hitting batter Asif Ali then scored a quickfire 13 runs off just three deliveries in the final over and powered the hosts to 166/4 in 20 Overs.

Topley led the way for England with two wickets, while David Willey and Dawson made one scalp each.
