Pak vs eng t20 2022

7.04pm Here's Moeen Ali: "A really good wicket in the end, thought we batted well, but we dropped a big catch. But the momentum changed when I bowled my over. Duckett's partnership with Salty was fantastic and me and Brooksy played nicely. It was different to the first game, looked worse but played better, and the two openers were brilliant. I know they get a lot of stick for their strike-rates but they are brilliant and you can't afford to bowl off spin to them." 6.50pm What an implausible drubbing! At the halfway mark, it seemed England's target was some 30 runs above par, but this pair could have paced a 220 chase with room to spare, you sense. And it is the perfect tonic for what should now be a magnificent series. Seven matches too long? Not if they provide entertainment like this! As for England, there will be no lack of bemusement. Moeen's 23-ball fifty, and some canny improv from Duckett had put a big total on the board, and it seemed that three spinners would be handy on this deck. But Babar and Rizwan put them to the sword, with Moeen and Rashid going for a combined 55 runs in four overs. Taabish: "On-air commentators lauding Babar and saying Rizwan played an excellent supporting role. I'd say it was the other way around. Rizwan led the way throughout always keeping the game in hand - and let Babar play himself in until he could launch." Yes, I rather agree. Babar's fifty was from 39 balls, compared to Rizwan's 30. But the acceleration thereafter was formidable.

Pakistan, who lost the England have been hit hard by injuries, with Jofra Archer and Jonny Bairstow missing. Jos Buttler is also expected to miss the start of the series, with Moeen Ali being appointed skipper. Jason Roy, meanwhile, has been omitted owing to his poor form. Alex Hales, who last featured for England in 2019, has also been called up to the squad. The 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup champions have not been in great form in the shortest format, though. Their most recent T20I series ended in defeat to South Africa. Earlier in the summer, they lost a three-match T20I series to India 2-1. Pakistan, meanwhile, showed glimpses of what they are capable of at the Asia Cup. A few questions about their batting philosophy cropped up and they would want to use these seven T20Is to get a better idea of how they want to approach the upcoming T20 World Cup. The first four games of the series will be played in Karachi, with the opening fixture scheduled for September 20. The caravan will then move to Lahore, with the final T20I scheduled for October 2.
