Pakistan and England go head to head in the fifth T20I on September 28. The first four games were played in Karachi and the final three will be played in Lahore. The remaining two games will be played on Sept 30 and October 2nd. The series has been an enthralling one so far and poised at 2-2. Both these teams head into the T20 World Cup after this series.

Pakistan scored 166/4 with Mohammad Rizwan scoring 88. However, the hero for Pakistan in the match was Haris Raudf who bowled a spell of 3/32 and picked all his wickets in the death overs. He picked the wickets of David Willey and Liam Dawson who looked set to take England home. He also dismissed Olly Stone for a first-ball duck.

“Glad that we won the game. Only thing in my mind was that if I get him (Dawson) out, the rest are tailenders, so I knew we had a chance. Pressure will always be there in international cricket, you have to know how to handle it. I was just looking to execute my strengths” said Haris.

England skipper Moeen Ali also thought that it was a close game and could have gone either way.

“It was a great game, could have gone both ways. We should have chased it down, disappointed that we couldn’t. Lost too many wickets upfront, did well to keep hanging in there. Brooksy did well again, Duckett too. Liam (Dawson) had a great game, obviously he’ll be disappointed to not finish things off” said the England skipper.

Meanwhile, regular skipper Jos Buttler will not be available for the final three games. Head coach Matthew Mott confirmed the same to the reporters on Sunday.

“With regards to Jos, he’s still a while off. He’s not a player we want to take a risk on at this stage, so close to a World Cup, and it was a reasonably significant injury that he had. He’s champing at the bit for a game but we’ll just try and see how we go: maybe in the last game or two, he might be a chance,” Mott was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.
