England levels the T20 Series with Pakistan

After their disappointing 8 runs defeat from Pakistan in the 1st T20 match, England are back in track with this victory. They are able to tie the 3 match series at 1-1. 

Player of the Match: J Baristow

England won the toss and elected to bat. J Baristow, who was also declared player of the match made an unbeaten 60 run contribution to the English scoreboard and England was able to complete their innings at 150 runs.

The batting performance from Pakistan was horrible. Neither their opener nor any of their top order batsman made good runs. The wicket kept falling and pressure kept building. Runs were coming at slow rate and by the time they were all out, they only managed to score 112 runs thus delivering a 38 runs victory to England.
