Pakistan vs England, 2nd Test, 275-328 (ENG won by 26 runs): The ongoing test series have become a source of entertainment for the local crown in Pakistan. England has toured Pakistan for a Test. A total of three test-matches will be held in different cities of the country. The first test was held in Rawalpindi with the English winning it.
The UK had to face a hard pitch, which allows no swing on the ball, and it’s hard to take wickets on it. In simple words, it was a batting pitch. The English broke multiple records on the pitch as they maintained a very high run rate. The run rate was unusually high, and players scored centuries.
The first test match was won by the UK because they showed exceptional play in both batting and bowling. England showed a brave face when they declared their innings of 260 plus to give the Shaheens the batting. They planned to bowl out the Men in Green Batsmen and go for a win.
It was an extraordinary match because with just 8 minutes remaining in the gameplay and one wicket to go, Leech bowled the last batsman and gave the UK a well-deserved win over the Shaheens. The first test was held in Rawalpindi and now the teams have traveled to Multan for the second test-match.
So far, the second test-match has started with the Men in Green. England has elected to bat first but things don’t seem to be right for them this time. The English didn’t score very high this time due to great pitch conditions. The experts of the game said that the pitch in Rawalpindi was very hard and not suitable for a Test-match.
Moreover, they added that the ground may also face a ban by the international cricket council also known as the ICC. However, the game for the English changed when this time they included their mystery spinner, Abrar Ahmed, in the game. It was true.
Pakistan Is Up for a Win in Their Second Test Match Against England
The Men in Green was fully confident that their mystery spinner also known as Abrar Ahmed will give an exceptional performance in his first international Test Series against UK. To the surprise of the English cricket team, Abrar took a seven-wicket haul against the opponent team.
The commentators couldn’t stop but praise the Bowler Abrar Ahmed for his exceptional bowling at the Multan Cricket Ground. He took the wickets of Key English batsmen such as Joe Root and Ben Stokes. Apart from all the wickets taken by him, the wicket of Ben Stokes was just phenomenal.
Additionally, some players also compared him to players such as Abdul Qadir, Saqlain Mushtaq, and Saeed Ajmal, as all of these players also destructed the batting lineup of teams such as the English and the Australian. In addition to the above, Abrar did not have a great economy. It is because the English batsmen did thrash him for multiple fours and sixes.
It is because he conceived 114 runs in just 22 overs, thus giving him an economy of 5 plus. Keep in mind that such an economy is considered not too good in test cricket. As a result, most thought that it might be the reason the English team gave away wickets.
The England cricket team was knocked out by the PAK Bowlers with seven wickets taken by Abrar Ahmed and the remaining wickets by Zahid Mehmood. Moreover, the English cricket team had no choice but to hit sweeps on such strong spin bowlers, but all were not successful because it led to a fall of wickets either by catches or by the bowl hitting the stumps. the Men in Green has initiated its batting and is hopeful to lead this time.
