Pakistan clinched a decisive nine-wicket victory over England in the third Test, sealing a 2-1 series triumph in Rawalpindi. England, struggling under pressure, faltered when it mattered most, collapsing to a disappointing total of 112, which left Pakistan with only 36 runs to chase.
Starting the day 53 runs behind, England’s hopes rested on a solid performance from batters Harry Brook and Joe Root. However, after a brief period of resistance, England’s innings quickly unraveled, with the last seven wickets falling for just 49 runs. Noman Ali and Sajid Khan led Pakistan’s bowling attack, with Brook’s dismissal marking the beginning of England’s decline.
In their chase, Pakistan lost only one wicket before Shan Masood entered the crease and secured the win in a spectacular six-ball cameo, scoring 22 runs with aggressive boundaries. His swift performance symbolized Pakistan’s dominance throughout the match and left England with little hope of recovery.
