Pakistan vs England
Pakistan and England faced off in a pivotal match that had the potential to affect both teams’ chances of reaching the semifinals; an England loss would have damaged those hopes while victory could have put them ahead in their quest. Unfortunately due to rain delays twice, however, this match will now take place on Tuesday at Pallekele International Stadium in Kandy.
England will look to continue their impressive start to their Super 8 match by beating Sri Lanka by an overwhelming margin in their opening Super 8 encounter. Both teams have met twice previously in T20 World Cup matches; England currently holds an advantage. They have won both previous encounters.
Pakistan, on the other hand, have yet to secure their first victory of this tournament and a win against England would be a critical step towards reaching their ultimate goal: winning the championship.
Both teams will look to improve their batting performances in this matchup, after England struggled against Sri Lanka with their bat. Pakistan may follow suit and require their bowlers to play well in order to achieve victory.
Pakistan haven’t won a Test series against England since 2022, yet have won their last four Lahore matches since their last visit there five years ago. If they can replicate that performance this time around they could well secure victory in this match and the series. Kamran Ghulam made history when he scored 100 on debuting as one of Pakistan’s oldest Test players at age 45 years.
Pakistan batting first
Pakistan batted first after winning the toss and scored 164/9 with Sahibzada Farhan leading them with an outstanding 63 score. Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam both contributed well, but late collapse saw six wickets fall in just five overs as Liam Dawson, Jofra Archer, and Jasprit Bumrah all took wickets to slow the run rate down for England.
Harry Brook was instrumental in leading England to an exciting two-wicket win against Pakistan in the Super Eight contest at 2026 World T20’s Super Eight competition, earning them a place in the semifinals and sending England through to last four of this exciting World Cup tournament. His scintillating century was third highest individual score ever scored during a T20 World Cup chase chase, helping put them through.
Shaheen Afridi had earlier established an excellent start for Pakistan in England’s reply with his fiery spell at the beginning. With just his very first ball he struck twice; first dismissing Phil Salt for golden duck and then dismissing Jason Roy for golden duck with another fierce spell that sent shivers through England’s ranks. They never recovered from that early blow.
Shaheen Afridi then turned up the pace by employing off spinners such as Adil Rashid and Liam Dawson – two bowlers who maintained disciplined lines while their subtle variations in pace prevented Pakistan batters from getting too aggressive with their stroke play.
England batting second
After an early struggle, England’s top order began to flourish with Jos Buttler scoring three sixes and two fours during a remarkable innings of 61 runs off 35 balls as they reached 248-8 in 50 overs. Buttler first hit four off a full toss from Siraj which didn’t rise quite as expected and hit over long-on for six; shortly thereafter he added three runs off another full toss delivered by Siraj that went for another six hit over long-on for another six.
Shaheen Afridi took a third wicket when bowling short on middle, with Buttler misjudging a cut and misfiring, taking an edge that carried for one run before Usman Khan took an incredible tumbling catch at long on.
Buttler was hit on the pads by Rashid’s googly and had an early exit, falling for a one-ball duck, but soon resumed his fine form, reaching three figures with an expansive pull to the boundary and adding six off his first ball of the next over as Pakistan struggled with pace and spin.
Sahibzada Farhan had given Pakistan hope of an unlikely late flourish with an impressive 63 from 39 balls off Liam Dawson, Jamie Overton and Jofra Archer’s 25 each but England eventually took control after Liam Dawson, Jamie Overton and Jofra Archer put up an excellent fightback to take a lead of four wickets against them.
Pakistan was inevitability beaten at home for the first time since moving there following their independence from Britain in 1947, with Shaheen Afridi, Sarfraz Ahmed and Shoaib Malik’s batting performances being particularly disappointing – their averages being 27.33, 29 and 19.52 being well below their respective career bests.
England bowling first
England have clawed their way back into this match, but to win they will need an outstanding batting innings on a pitch that provides little assistance for bowlers. Early wickets will help put pressure on Australia’s batsmen.
Shaheen Afridi began England’s chase by striking with his very first delivery, dismissing Phil Salt for an early golden duck to set the pace. The fast bowler kept up the pressure in the second over by dismissing Jos Buttler for two runs and continued attacking in the third over with some smart bowling and creative use of short ball to put England under pressure.
Usman Tariq continued his impressive showing in the fourth over by dismissing Sam Curran for a mere four runs – going for a slog sweep, but failing to control it properly and sending it down leg side instead. Shortly thereafter Usman Tariq dropped an opportunity at long on to give Jacob Bethell some respite.
England gained momentum despite Pakistan’s subpar fielding. Harry Brook’s 28-ball fifty kept their scoreboard moving, while Shaheen Afridi continued his miserly spells to slow England down.
Jofra Archer and Liam Dawson provided some key wickets to stop Pakistan’s late charge at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, yet with Shadab Khan making late runs they eventually reached 164/9. Sahibzada Farhan led them with a stunning performance of 63 off 45 balls that included seven fours and two sixes; unfortunately their late collapse cost them the chance of reaching an insurmountable total total.
England bowling second
England secured their semifinal berth thanks to Harry Brook’s brilliant century that powered them past Pakistan by two wickets in their Super 8 match in their Super 8. Brook hit an unstoppable 116 off 56 balls while tormenting their bowling attack; his innings was his fourth ever and first at this tournament; joining Alex Hales, Chris Gayle and Jos Buttler as one of only four England batsmen to do so in a T20 World Cup chase chase.
England was taken apart during their middle overs, struggling with both pace and spin bowlers. Shadab Khan was England’s top bowler with three wickets; Usman Tariq claimed an important one when his first delivery struck to dismiss Tom Banton for 15 and Jacob Bethell went for eight runs while trying to hook a short ball into deep square leg region; Shaheen Afridi came in but misjudged it, leading it past him into deep square leg. Shaheen Afridi then attempted a catch at long on but misjudged it and let it through his hands before taking his catch at long on.
England advanced to the semifinals despite Jofra Archer’s late wicket, though they were charged 10 per cent of their match fee due to running out of overs. Match referee Richie Richardson determined they fell two overs short of meeting the required rate even with time allowances factored in.
England have shown great determination and resilience despite their lowly performance at bat; it will be intriguing to watch their journey to the final four unfold. On Tuesday at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi they’ll face Australia in their last group game; don’t underestimate them!
