ENG vs PAK 3rd T20: England showed their calibre as one of the most fearsome white-ball sides as they bounced back in style to level their three-match T20I series against Pakistan on Sunday. Put into bat at Headingley, the hosts raced their way to 200 all out, with captain Jos Buttler leading the charge, with cameos from Liam Livingstone and Moeen Ali. The bowling attack, which saw the inclusion of Chris Jordan and Adil Rashid, ensured that Pakistan did not get anywhere close to the target, avenging their 31-run defeat with a 45-run triumph.
ENG vs PAK 3rd T20: Pakistan have employed a top-heavy approach in their preparations for the T20 World Cup, and the two T20Is against England have shown how the tactic works in and against their favour. While the first game was a complete endorsement with Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam helping Pakistan score their record total, the second T20I reached the Men in Green a lesson or two as they scrambled to put a 155 in response to their target of 201. Babar Azam will hope that his team can replicate the heroics from their series opener, and claim the series, a perfect retaliation for the humiliation they suffered in the preceding ODIs.
