Hopes from Sharjeel Khan had been broken after his bad performance in 1st game against England, maybe that was his bad luck or inexperience whatever it was very bad for Pakistan. The only captain of the Pakistani team Azhar Ali played some good cricket in that match with scoring 82 off 110 balls. Pakistan played a little slow because England bowlers dismissed all those batsmen. When they were settled at pitch what a great performance by all bowlers.
Sarfraz Ahmed scored 55 runs at a crucial stage of the innings. Babar Azam scored 44 but all others had not played so good. 261 runs target was not easy against Pakistani bowling attack but as people say (catches wins matches) it is true. From one point of view, we can say that because of rain pitch was not giving seem or bounce to Pakistani bowlers. That’s why they were unable to perform good enough. But their fielding was too bad also.
