CRICKET T20 SERIES
ENGLAND saved their best for last to claim the spoils in a 4-3 T20 series win over Pakistan and head off to the World Cup with a spring in their step.
Conditions might be a little different at the tournament in Australia, but nothing beats that winning feeling – especially a win as emphatic as this.
Led by Dawid Malan’s unbeaten 78 in a mammoth total of 209-3, England put both parts of their game together to win by 67 runs in Lahore.
Chris Woakes returned to take 3-26 and it was the efforts of him and Reece Topley in removing dangermen Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan inside the first three overs that essentially ensured victory.
There was more to the series than results alone, as changes to the team after every game suggests – not to mention the fact that England were touring Pakistan for the first time in 17 years.
