It is time for Pakistan to concede another wicket, as backward point takes advantage of Fakhar Zaman’s reckless blow. However, Rizwan ends it with a push for two after reaching a 52-ball fifty in the previous over—the slowest score by a Pakistani batsman in men’s Twenty20 Internationals. Pakistan ultimately secures a victory in their third Group A match. With 2.5 overs remaining, they have reached their target. While this will not increase their NRR above that of the USA just yet, it is a good beginning for them as they attempt to tip the qualification equation in their favor.
