Pakistan blind cricket team dominate England in the fifth T20

Pakistan blind cricket team dominated England once again by 129 runs in the fifth T20 match between the two sides played at Ajman Oval Cricket Ground, Ajman UAE.

Pakistan kept their dominance against England in the T-20 series going and thrashed the English outfit by 129 runs in 5th T-20 International at Ajman Oval Cricket Ground, Ajman.

Pakistan had already wrapped the series after winning the 4th T20 but showed no signs of letting up. 

In the fifth match of the six match series, England won the toss and invited Pakistan to bat.

Pakistan, just like the other four games, sent a different opening pair to bat. Zafar Iqbal (B1) and Mohsin Khan (B3) opened the innings for Pakistan.

Pakistan lost Mohsin in the 5th over of the innings with the score at 65.  Mohsin departed having scored 34 runs off 18 balls.

Unbeknown  to England that was the only respite they would get in their bowling effort as thereafter, Haroon Khan and Zafar Iqbal knitted an unbeaten 232 runs partnership for the 2nd wicket and took the total of Pakistan to 297 in 20 overs for the loss of 1 wicket. 

Haroon Khan played terrific unbeaten innings of 116 runs off (58) balls featuring 13 fours and 1 big six while Zafar Iqbal made rapid 88 runs not out off 48 balls.

For England, Ameen Ashfari was the only bowler to take a wicket.

The massive target of 298 runs was insurmountable for England despite a wonderful effort by their openers. The opening pair of Dan Field and Sam Murray batted throughout the overs and England made 168 runs in 20 overs for no loss.

Sam Murray made 100* runs off 61 balls with the help of 16 fours and Dan Field made 48* off 64 balls.

In the end though, Pakistan easily won by 129 runs margin.

A joint man of the man was awarded to Haroon Khan and Sam Murray.

The 6th and last T-20 International will be played today (18th November) at the same ground.
