Rashid attempted a quicker delivery first, but Holder sent it over deep square leg for six. He then lofted a full ball over long-on for another six. The third ball wasn’t timed perfectly, but it was enough for Holder to get six runs. Holder managed just a single off the next ball.

Adil Rashid Bowled Really Well in the Middle Overs - England Captain Harry Brook

At the post-match presentation, England captain Harry Brook praised his team’s collective effort after their win. He said that they delivered disciplined middle overs, especially highlighting Adil Rashid’s performance.

"Great start in the T20s from the boys. Yeah they had a very good finish. We stuck to our plans very well in the middle overs. When we came out to bat we knew it was a matter of two big overs. We have got a lot of depth, we also felt they were 30 runs under par with Will Jacks and Bethell coming late.

"Gives us great confidence going into a small ground like this with four spinners and two pacers. Wood set the tone for us with a wicket first ball. Rashid bowled really well in the middle overs before getting away in his last. Really excited for the last match," Brook added.
