Sahibzada Farhan’s 63 runs and a quick knock from Shadab Khan (23 off 11) helped Pakistan reach 164/9 in 20 overs against England in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. Despite a shaky start with two early wickets, Pakistan stayed competitive, thanks to Farhan’s fluent innings.
Facing a slow scoring rate, Pakistan struggled to accelerate, managing only 19 runs in the last four overs. Spin bowlers Rashid and Dawson applied pressure, forcing cautious play. Babar Azam’s dismissal further hampered Pakistan’s momentum, ending a crucial partnership.
Fakhar Zaman’s aggressive play injected some energy, including a towering six off Jacks. However, England’s Dawson made key breakthroughs, taking crucial wickets. Shadab Khan’s resistance with the bat was notable, but Pakistan lost their last four wickets quickly, finishing at 164/9.
