Pakistan’s unique record of defeating England

Pakistan made a unique record of not allowing the opponent to score less than five runs in the last over. The team led by Babar Azam did not allow even a strong team like England to score 4 runs in the last over.
Pakistan snatched the victory in a convincing loss in Karachi on Sunday. England needed 33 runs from the last 3 overs to win. Liam Dawson almost ensured the team’s victory by scoring 24 runs in the 18th over by Mohammad Hasnain.

Only 9 runs were needed from the last 12 balls to win. Dawson did not get a chance to get any runs from the first ball of the 19th over bowled by Haris Rauf. He made the match easier by hitting a boundary on the second ball. In the end, only 5 runs are needed from 10 balls. But in the next two balls, Rauf dismissed Liam Dawson and Ollie Stone. He took 2 wickets for 5 runs in that over.

England needed just 4 runs off the last over to win. Pakistan needed 1 wicket. The first ball of the over is a dot. The stumps were broken by Shan Masood’s great throw while taking a run off the second ball. Pakistan is overjoyed with victory.

On this day, Pakistan scored 166 runs for 4 wickets after losing the toss and batting first. In response, England was bowled out for 163 runs in 19.2 overs. Pakistan leveled the seven-match series (2-2) with a 3-run win.
