Pakistan blind cricket team route England to seal the series

Pakistan blind cricket team seal the six match series after routing England in 4th T-20 by 208 runs at Ajman, UAE.

Pakistan sealed the T-20 series vs England by hammering them by 208 runs in the 4th T-20 International played at Ajman Oval Cricket Ground, Ajman UAE.

Badar Munir hit the ball all over the ground scoring a massive 172 runs for his side of just 70 balls. His flamboyant innings included 6 sixes and 21 fours and became the highest score in an international T20.

Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat first. Mohsin Khan and Badar Munir opened the innings for Pakistan and provided a swift start to the team.

Badar Munir played aggressively from the very first over and helped his team get to 103 runs mark after just 6 overs.

Badar reached his 50 in just 20 balls.

Pakistan wobbled in the middle a little, first Mohisn Khan got out after scoring 14 runs off 12 balls then Riasat was bowled for 2 runs by Justin Hollingworth.

Anees Javed then played a brisk knock of 74 runs off 37 balls with the help of 12 fours. 

Pakistan finished at 312 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 20 overs. Peter Bulliet took 2 wickets for England, Nathan Foy and Justin Hollingsworth claimed 1 wicket a piece.

England got off to the most awful of starts losing Dan Field on the very first ball. He was caught on duck by Muhammad Akram on the bowling of Mohsin Khan.

Sam Muray and Nathan Foy made 75 runs for the 2nd wicket but the teams scoring rate was nowhere near the required run rate.

Sam Murray was stumped on 22 while Foy contributed 28 runs.

The rest of the batting did not help either. Hossell was LBW on just 2 runs, Mathew Dean made 3 runs, Peter Bulliet 6, Justin Hollingsworth couldn’t open his account.

Nathan Jameson and Amin Afhsani remained unbeaten on 3 and 4 runs respectively.

England only managed to score 104 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs, conceding the game by a massive margin of 2018 runs.

Mohsin took 2 wickets for 15 runs, Badar also also 2 wickets for 18 runs, Shahzaib and Fakhar Abbass claimed 1 wicket each.

Pakistan sealed the 6 match series 4-0. Syed Sultan Shah, Chairman PBCC was the guest of the occasion and gave away man of the match award.

The 5th T20 International will be played tomorrow on 17th November at the same ground.
