An anticlimactic match which was not the decider that this fascinating series deserved.

Well done the Ingerlund, winning a series away without Bairstow and Buttler.

Unpredictable pakistan has become predictable atleast in batting. Knock out first 2. That's pretty much it.
 
Congratulations to England on the series win.

Pakistan played some great cricket too in one of the best T20 series you will ever see.

Both teams have a good chance at the World Cup, Pak batting will improve no doubt.

My top 3 favs for the World Cup.

Australia
England
Pakistan
 
Babar and Rizwan cover a lot of short comings of this team. The rest of the batting order has no substance
 
Pakistan losing on their own backyard to second string team is a disgrace. Pakistan will get kicked out on first round in the World Cup

Why did Babar pick him considering he is injury prone? Save him for WC

Look at how England used Wood. A pathetic captain

Playing all his good players alongwith trash cans like Asif, Ifthikar and Khusdil only to lose like this.

Pakistan are as likely to win the World Cup as Liverpool are of winning the league this season.

This just sounds like a biased defensive coping mechanism.

And No it doesn't humility. It shows small team mentality.

Well that's because if he did that, it would show he is a small team player. It is what it is, how is me saying it a coping mechanism? What do you want me to say, that he's actually a top player?
 
Ain't no chance for Pakistan in WC, the bowlers would need double Hattricks every game to stand a chance and we know even Shaheen can have a bad day (wink wink WC semi).

Isn’t that Babars team. He selects those club level batsman and expect them to bat like him lol.

Is there any batter we haven't tried in middle overs? And i wish we had other batters that batted like Babar atleast we would play out 20 overs.
 
Imagine if England played with Bairstow, stokes, butler, livingstone etc…..this would’ve been a 7-0 hammering lmao
 
I guess the Pakistan droppers 11 will be much stronger than the Pakistan 11

Well let's keep things real, criticism is one thing, outright foolishness is another l
 
Well you got what you always look for so well done to you!

But as the Pakistani commentators said loosing is part of the game, but to loose without putting up a fight is unacceptable!
 
The gap between Pak and Eng/Aus/India/NZ in this format is massive. Eng thoroughly exposed our batting and timid approach. But watch this think tank not learn a thing and continue in same vein!

3 and 4

They both can choose who bats 3 and who bats 4

Simply won't work because they will play slow once we are 10/2 in 2 overs. It's like sending Fawad Alam at 7 and expecting him to hit 6s.

We are most competitive when our best two batters get some time in the middle and can set the tempo of the innings from the very beginning.

It doesn’t work or not, that’s their real position.

Otherwise go and get Saud and Kamran Ghulam

Or be happy with Shan and add two more tuks like Saud and Ghulam

The right players need to play in the right positions, or don’t be upset about these below par efforts
 
We just do not have the quality batters who can score freely even if wickets are tumbling around them, Cannot rely on Babar and Rizwan to bail us out in every game. Look at England, Australia etc. They have quality, firepower and depth. Even after losing two wickets in one over esp. that of Salt, Malan and Duckett did not panic or slow down and kept hitting boundaries/scoring briskly

Pakistan's batting limitations once again brutally exposed by England today.
 
Pakistan needs to improve Batting bowling and fielding otherwise they can’t qualify for semi finals

There's no such thing as real position in T20s. Batters have to be able to play according to the scenario. BTW most openers in T20Is are makeshift and were once middle order bats

Ok so then why don’t these two makeshift themselves into 3 and 4 knowing there are dozens of openers who can play in Pakistan?

This is the reality. Pk just don't have the batting to compete. The WC is between Eng, India and Aust. No one else has a chance.
 
Well my first question to Babar would be don’t you think the way the middle order batted was unacceptable?

You talk about bad fielding costing you parts of the game, then how do you explain that it was you dropping 2 of the 3 catches.

You must be seriously concerned, would you like to apologise to the whole Pakistan nation for such a embarrassing defeat?
 
Babar Azam | Talking in Urdu: It was definitely difficult. With 200 runs on the board, if we lose early wickets, it puts pressure on the other batters. This series was vital for us. We need to improve in the shortest format. I also mentioned at the toss, that we have a good bowling attack. Haris is bowling well, and he is improving everyday. I think entire Pakistan was waiting for this, even we were happy to host England.
 
pak can easily still make it Saheen and naseem is big miss I think we need to get rid of khushdill and Ifti and get in some more aggresive bats England is world class team and we ran them close
 
England pummelled Pakistan by 67 runs in the series-deciding seventh T20 international after a clinical batting and bowling performance.

England plundered 209-3 after being inserted with Dawid Malan (78 no off 47 balls) and Yorkshire team-mate Harry Brook (46no off 29) slamming 108 from the final 61 deliveries of the innings in Lahore.

Both players benefitted from drops with Babar Azam shelling Malan and Brook on 29 and 24 respectively before Mohammad Wasim - whose 20th over was smashed for 20 - grassing top-scorer Malan on 62.

Pakistan limped to 142-8 in reply, with captain Babar (4) following his blemishes in the field by being dismissed by Chris Woakes (3-26) in the first over of the chase and Mohammad Rizwan bowled (1) by Reece Topley in the second as the home side tumbled to 5-2.

A timid Pakistan just could not get going amid a thoroughly professional bowling display from England - Shan Masood (56 off 43) playing the only knock of note - with Woakes and David Willey (2-22\) in the wickets and Rashid producing tidy figures of 1-25 after an expensive last few outings.

England's 4-3 win snapped a run of four white-ball series without a victory and earned a confidence-building result ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia later this month, with their first game against Afghanistan at The Optus Stadium in Perth on October 22, live on Sky Sports.

England will hope to welcome skipper Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone and Ben Stokes back into their XI by then with the trio missing the Pakistan series - Buttler (calf) and Livingstone (ankle) are coming back from injuries while Stokes has been rested.

In their absence it was Malan and Brook who fired in Sunday's decider, although there were also contributions from Ben Duckett (30 off 19), Friday's match-winner Phil Salt (20 off 12) and Alex Hales (18 off 13) as each England batter peppered the boundary at Gaddafi Stadium.

Hales was pinned lbw by Mohammad Hasnain after he and Salt had picked up 39 runs combined across the first four overs, with Salt then run out two deliveries later after a dreadful mix-up with Malan.

Malan was guilty of ball watching as Salt rushed out from the non-striker's end and the latter was short of his ground after being sent back following Shadab's direct hit, leaving England 39-2.

Duckett - not part of England's T20 World Cup squad - started the rebuild with Malan, the pair plundering 62 from 30 deliveries before Duckett was superbly run out by wicketkeeper Rizwan.

Rizwan displayed lightning-fast reactions when Duckett under-edged Iftikhar Ahmed into the ground, sticking out his right hand, collecting the ball and whipping off the bails in one swift movement.

Unfortunately for Pakistan, that brilliance in the field could not be matched by Babar and Wasim, with Babar spilling a Malan drive at extra-cover and then shelling an absolute sitter when Brook clothed a slower ball from the impressive Haris Rauf (0-24) down the ground.

Rauf had two catches dropped of his bowling - Wasim grassing in the penultimate over as Malan skied into the leg-side - meaning he undeservedly went wicketless on an evening on which he befuddled England's batters with his assortment of slower balls.

Wasim was thumped for two sixes and a four in the final over as Pakistan were set a daunting run chase - and one they ultimately got nowhere near.

Their hopes took a monumental hit early on when Babar chipped Woakes' slower ball to cover and Topley knocked back Rizwan's off stump - Pakistan's gun batters back in the dugout seven just eight balls in.

Masood top-scored for the home side, sharing a stand of 53 from 43 balls with Khushdil Shah (27 off 25), but there was a real lack of intent from Pakistan as an absorbing series ended with a one-side final fixture.

What's next?

England travel Down Under to prepare for the T20 World Cup, with three T20s against host nation Australia (October 9, 12 and 14) and a warm-up against Pakistan (October 17) before Jos Buttler's side begin their World Cup campaign against Afghanistan in Perth on October 22.

Well i am actually pretty happy i actually thought it would be 6 1 defeat..the two matchss they gifted us made it look respectable
 
Overall poor display from Pakistan no intent from the batters after going 2 wickets down.
 
Definitely changes will be made to the world cup squad.I can see Malik and Sharjeel being picked.
 
Didn't expect England to win the series considering they were without Butler, Stokes, Bairstow etc.

It was a good series though. Good practice before World T20 for both teams.

I want to realise that it's cringeworthy and epitomises small team mentality because the game was not only well and truly lost but an embarrassing humiliation.
 
Losing to an England reserve side at home is an embarrassment.

On the positive side, we can celebrate the return of Pakistan cricket on English soil. [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] remember to think about the positives as well.

This not a second string England.Right now England can field two top class teams in T20.They have an excellent bench strength.Butler,Jordan and Livingstone are not fully fit.They didn’t want to risk Wood before the World Cup since he is prone to injury.
 
All are asking to change middle order. What about our bowling? In every 2nd match they got hammered. M.Wasim jnr.,Dahani and usman qadir. What is there role?

But Pakistan is a small team now, it has always been in reality. Were we one of the Big Three when that stupid idea was conceived?

Why are you feeling humiliated on their behalf?
 
I agree with Moeen. They should have smashed us to pieces. The overall score flatters Pak and doesn't do justice to England at all. They were on a different planet to Pak particularly their batting is on a different level compared to our garbage.
 
So a small team was responsible for knocking India out of both recent tournaments? What does that make India then?

Small teams can knockout big teams every now and then, happens in every sport. The real test of a team’s consistency is reflected in bilateral series.

Over a course of a series, the better side almost always ends up winning more matches.

In the last 15 years or so, Pakistan has probably lost 99% of its ODI/T20 series against the big sides. It says everything that needs to be said.

I know you will now say that bilateral series don’t matter as long as you are showing up in tournaments, but that is a rare occurrence too. Probably as rare as Pakistan winning series against the top sides in limited overs.

How many tournaments has Pakistan won in the last 15 years and how finals have they made?

Exactly, now and then small teams can knock out big teams where as Pakistan knocked them out twice. Small teams don't beat a big team with 10 wickets in hand. So I disagree with your point. Pakistan are unpredictable yes, but are capable of beating any team on their day.

We've been been in the knock out stages in many tournaments recently, even when we didn't have a good team.
