Pakistan’s 92-9 total after choosing to bat first after winning the toss ranks as their fifth-lowest score in T20 international cricket. Pakistan lost a ton of wickets during the powerplay as their top order appeared bewildered by the swinging ball. The seamers did a great job moving the new ball in both directions.
The surface helped the spinners as they applied the squeeze because it was two-paced and the Pakistani batters kept being misplayed by the surface that held in. Even though Pakistan has some excellent bowlers, they will need to do something truly miraculous to win this match moving forward.
