Pakistan to have "nailed on" his place in England's Twenty20 World Cup XI, said former captain Nasser Hussain. The 23-year-old Brook arrived in Karachi with just four caps. But the Yorkshire batsman has been in superb form during the opening matches of a T20 series against Pakistan, scoring 154 runs in three innings at a blistering strike-rate of 194.93.
Saturday, September 24, marked 15 years of India's triumph over Pakistan in the 2007 inaugural World T20 final at the Wanderers in Johannesburg. This was India's first world title in 24 years and a moment etched in the minds of fans to date. And who better than Joginder Sharma -- the medium-pacer who helped India notch up a famous five-run win -- to reminisce about what happened on that special night?
Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan batted like rockstars against England on Thursday in the second T20I in Karachi. Pakistan skipper Azam hammered 110 not out for his second T20I hundred while Rizwan scored an undefeated 88 as the pair completed a chase of 200 in 19.3 overs at a packed National Stadium. With 1,929 runs together, the Azam-Rizwan partnership has become the most prolific in T20Is, beating Indian stars Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma's record of 1,743 in 51 matches. Azam and Rizwan have achieved the record in just 36 games. Pakistan's 10-wicket win levelled the seven-match series at 1-1 after England won the first game by six wickets, also in Karachi on Tuesday.

Cricket matches often become fierce contests, especially when a fast-bowler is serving up quick, angry deliveries. However, even in the most competitive of matches, there are moments of sportsmanship that shine through and remind the world what sport is all about. During the third T20I between Pakistan and England in Karachi, Harry Brook was on song after the visitors were put in to bat, but during his knock he was struck on the helmet by a bouncer from pacer Haris Rauf. It was a sharp, quick short delivery and it got stuck in Brook's grill.
A player confirmed receiving the payment and said it was tough for all of them to survive without any daily allowances or fees from the PHF for the last six months as many of them had lost their jobs with their departmental hockey teams. "The arrears were their daily allowances and other fees from a national training camp and the Asia Cup and Commonwealth Games this year," the official said.
On the occasion of Team India's ICC T20 World Cup 2007 win, former Indian batter Robin Uthappa said on Saturday that he still remembers his celebration after the famous bowl-out after a thrilling tied Group D clash with arch-rivals Pakistan during the tournament. A new chapter in Indian cricket history was written when a young and relatively inexperienced Team India led by MS Dhoni won the hearts of a billion fans as they defeated Pakistan in the finals of the inaugural ICC Men's T20 World Cup, 15 years to this day.
Saturday marks the 15th anniversary of India lifting the 2007 T20 World Cup title. The MS Dhoni-led team beat Pakistan in a thrilling final in Johannesburg to win the maiden T20 World Cup. The match went down to the final over and MS Dhoni turned to the relatively unknown Joginder Sharma. The pacer went on to dismiss Misbah-ul-Haq to win the match for India, and Sreesanth, who took the all-important catch of Misbah, revealed why Dhoni opted for Joginder to bowl the final over.
