Pakistan vs England, 1st T20I: Luke Wood, Alex Hales Shine In England's 6-Wicket Win Over Pakistan

A new-look England side took the opening Twenty20 international by six wickets in Karachi on Tuesday, capping their return to Pakistan after 17 years with a memorable victory. Opener Alex Hales celebrated his return to the England team with a 40-ball 53 to anchor England's chase of a modest 159-run target in 19.2 overs. Hales was banned in April 2019 after a failed recreational drug test. The win gives England a 1-0 lead in the seven-match series. Pakistan opener Mohammad Rizwan scored 46-ball 68 to help the hosts to 158-7 in their 20 overs after England sent them in to bat at a capacity National stadium.

Jos Buttler Wants England Battle-Hardened For T20 World Cup From Pakistan Tour

England skipper Jos Buttler said Thursday he hopes his injury-hit Twenty20 side embrace the challenge of facing a strong Pakistan team on their first tour of the country in 17 years. Security issues have meant Pakistan has struggled to attract visiting sides since an attack on the Sri Lankan team bus in 2009, but tours have slowly resumed in the past few years -- with England the latest. This seven-match series is seen as a preparation for next month's Twenty20 World Cup to be held in Australia, and Buttler hoped his young side build up well for the mega event.
