Centurions
England declared their century after just over 10 overs. The batting was aggressive.
Pakistan could score as high as 200 but were losing wickets steadily in the middle to keep the chase curtailed.
This match, therefore, saw a record victory of England over Pakistan as their innings showed much strength and profundity of batting and therefore strategic bowling that triumphed them over the latter.
