Former Pakistan cricket team Shahid Afridi has accepted that he tampered the Faisalabad pitch during a Test match against England in 2005. Afridi, who was well known for his big-hitting as well as spin bowling, said that he was frustrated with the pitch which led to the action. He also added that ex-Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik knew and encouraged him in the plan.
Team India would look to return to winning ways when they take the field against Australia in the second T20I of the three-match series on Friday evening in Nagpur. The hosts failed to defend 208 runs in the first T20I as they stumbled to a four-wicket loss in Mohali. The likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Harshal Patel had a bad day at the office with the ball in hand. Only Axar Patel and Umesh Yadav were able to leave an impression with the ball. It needs to be seen whether Jasprit Bumrah walks back into the side for the must-win second T20I or not.
It is not every day that two batters carry their bat through the innings in a high-pressure chase and help their team win the match on a canter. Pakistan captain Babar Azam and his trusted deputy Mohammad Rizwan did just that as the hosts roared back to level the 7-match T20I series at 1-1 as the duo chased down a 200-run target while staying unbeaten and also creating an all-new world record.
Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam roared back to form on Thursday with a classy hundred against England in the second T20I in Karachi. Babar, who had a below-par Asia Cup campaign, scored an unbeaten 110 off just 66 balls and was involved in an 203*-run stand with fellow opener Mohammad Rizwan (88*, 51 balls). It is the highest opening stand while chasing in T20s. The duo broke their own record of 197 runs (vs South Africa, 2021). For Babar, who hit five sixes and 11 fours, in his innings, this was his second T20I ton - first from Pakistan to reach the milestone. Courtesy the great display, Pakistan chased down a 200-run target in 19.3 overs with 10 wickets to spare.
Openers Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan put on an unbeaten 203-run partnership as Pakistan claimed a remarkable 10-wicket victory over England in the second T20 international in Karachi on Thursday.
Babar Azam hit a brilliant century and Mohammad Rizwan scored 88 to lead Pakistan to a crushing 10-wicket win over England in the second Twenty20 International in Karachi on Thursday and level the seven-match series at 1-1.
Australia legend Ricky Ponting made some bold calls while trying to decide who will be more impactful in the 2022 T20 World Cup - Jasprit Bumrah or Shaheen Afridi. Two of the premier fast bowlers in the world, Bumrah and Afridi, boast of having enviable records in the shortest format. Bumrah has picked up 69 wickets in 58 matches while Afridi has scalped 47 in 40. The two pacers are equally effective with the new ball as well as in the death overs.
