Mark Wood pitched at lightning speed
The English fast bowler bowled at lightning speed in this match against Pakistan at Karachi National Park. He launched the majority of deliveries in his four spell at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour. His speed was so deadly that the Pakistani captain, who played a brilliant century in the last match, got a cheap deal. Babar Azam became a victim of Wood, who threw at the rate of 156, scoring only 8 runs. The English fast bowler took three wickets for 24 runs in 4 overs in this match.
Apart from Shan Masood, all the Pakistani batsmen missed.
Mohammad Rizwan, who had a pair of two centuries with Babar Azam in the last match, also completely failed in this match. The Pakistani wicket-keeper batsman, who played an unbeaten innings of 88 runs in the second match of the series, returned to the pavilion after scoring just 8 runs in this match.
Only Shan Masood was able to show the spirit of staying in the fold for Pakistan. Batting at number four, Masood scored 66 runs on 40 balls and was not out until the very end. They got no support from the other end, as a result Pakistan’s innings stopped at 158 for eight from 20 overs. England won the match by a wide margin of 63 runs and took a 2–1 series lead after three games.
Decat-brook laid the foundation for victory
Batting first in this match, two middle-order batsmen from England took the news of the Pakistani bowlers fiercely. Harry Brooke, who came to bat at number five, scored 81 runs on 35 balls at a strike rate of 231.42 and Ben Duckett added 70 runs on 42 balls at a strike rate of 166.66. Both batsmen were not out until the very end and took England’s innings to 221 runs by just three wickets.
