22 Oct
Summary
- Arafat Minhas scored 59 runs and took six wickets against England.
- Minhas became the third Pakistani all-rounder with a fifty and six-wicket haul.
- Pakistan defeated England by 87 runs in the ODI tri-series.
All-rounder Arafat Minhas starred in Pakistan's commanding 87-run victory against England in the ongoing ODI tri-series. Minhas was instrumental, contributing a crucial 59 runs with the bat and then dismantling England's chase with a spectacular six-wicket haul. His performance made him the third Pakistani all-rounder to achieve this rare feat in ODI history.
Pakistan posted a competitive total of 302-9, with significant contributions from Hasan Nawaz (79) and Minhas himself, who also achieved his maiden ODI half-century. England's strong opening partnership of 91 was broken, and the team subsequently collapsed, being bowled out for 215.
Minhas's spell included the key wicket of England captain Harry Brook. Despite a solid start from England's openers, they lost wickets in clusters, unable to build necessary partnerships to chase the target. Pakistan's bowlers, including Minhas, effectively closed out the match with over 11 overs remaining.
The tri-series also features Sri Lanka, who previously lost to Pakistan. England is scheduled to play Sri Lanka next.
