Pakistan beat England by 31 runs in the first international T20 despite Livingstone's tone

Hello! It’s Friday night and we’re heading back to the merry-go-round white football game, this time with a different England team with a shorter format. Yes, the big boys (mostly) are back even though England noted the three old-timers crushing Pakistan in one day.

Four of England's hurried players went through those games: Saqib Mahmood, the man who fired Babar Azam at the start of Cardiff and Lord, Matt Parkinson, a different bowler, Lewis Gregory, who impressed both bat and ball, and Dawid Malan - number no. 1 is placed on the T20 batter (Babar is second).

Pakistan has had its ups and downs despite being white, but their inclusion and grip will require a change in order for them to have a chance to fight the 1st T20 team in the world. Pakistan is currently the fourth, located between New Zealand and Australia.

Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, Mark Wood and Chris Woakes are resting in anticipation of the Test series, while Hasan Ali will miss the first game as a defensive measure due to strain on his left leg.

England team: Eoin Morgan (Middlesex - captain), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Jake Ball (Nottinghamshire), Tom Banton (Somerset), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Tom Curran (Surrey), Lewis Gregory (Somerset), Chris Jordan (Sussex), Liam Livingstone (Lancashire), Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire), Dawid Malan (Yorkshire), Matt Parkinson (Lancashire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), David Willey ( Yorkshire)

Pakistan Team: Babar Azam (captain), Shadab Khan (deputy captain), Arshad Iqbal, Azam Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wk), Shaheen Shah Afridi, Sharjeel Khan and Usman Qadir.

Rebellious Pakistan beat England by 31 runs in T20 runs

Cricket - First Twenty20 International - England v Pakistan - Trent Bridge, Nottingham, Britain - July 16, 2021

 

NOTTINGHAM, July 16 (Reuters) - Liam Livingstone beat the Englishman in the 20th century with 42 balls against Pakistan but it was in vain when England lost their first white game this summer, falling 31 runs in Trent Bridge on Friday.

The England international came back from solitary confinement after the second-tier side beat the one-day series 3-0, then Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow and Tom Curran returned to the team with Eoin Morgan leading the team.

Morgan won the toss and opted to throw first but the action bounced back as Pakistan took advantage of the short range, beating 20 fours and 12 sixs to 232-6 - their highest number in the T20 countries.

In response, England was released in 201.

 

Seamer Shaheen Afridi (3-30) hit early to dismiss Dawid Malan, advancing in his pursuit for the opening game to be caught and licked, before Bairstow grabbed the top edge and left England second in the fourth over.

Pakistan’s poor play was a big talk in the final ODI but they arrived late at night, took a hard hold in depth and made a direct run out.

Moen Ali collapsed as Haris Rauf took an amazing grip from the depths, clinging to the ball as he climbed into Sohaib Maqsood's arms as his teammates tried to avoid a collision, while Jason Roy (32) failed to do well in the first light.

 

Livingstone hit a pile of six to start raising the T20 50 fastest in England in just 17 balls but went on to reach his T20 century girl with six.

But when the wickets fell on one side, the pressure was on Livingstone and he caught the next ball very close to the border at 103 as the asking rate rose above 14 each.

THE BEGINNING OF PAKISTAN AIRLINES

 

Earlier the opening players of Pakistan started the visitors off with 49 runs in the power game before raising that level as captain Babar Azam raised their 100th with a 12th over in six.

Mohammad Rizwan hit 63 balls in 41 balls in the 150-yard opener before exploding in a slow-moving bouncer from Lewis Gregory, preparing for Bairstow.

Azam continued where they left off after knocking out 158 ​​in the third ODI, hitting 85 of 49 balls before being caught behind David Willey.

Despite having new drivers at the time of death in the overs overs, Fakhar Zaman (26 off 8) and Mohammad Hafeez (24 off 10) built a 46-run partnership in just 16 appearances to guide Pakistan on their records.
