Just when it seemed that the duo was building a partnership, Haris Rauf intervened to send back Salt for just 10 off nine balls. Rauf got his second wicket of the match as he dismissed the skipper Buttler for 26 off 17 balls. At the end of powerplay in six overs, England was 49/3, with Harry Brook (4*) joining Stokes (1*).
The duo helped England reach halfway through their innings without any damage. Stokes-Brook were bringing England back into the game, one run at a time. But their stand was cut short at 39 runs by spinner Shadab Khan, who dismissed Brook for 20 off 23 balls.
However, with Shaheen Afridi pulling out with a knee injury, it handed England a massive boost. Moeen smashed pacer Mohammad Wasim for two boundaries, bringing down the deficit to 20 runs in 22 balls. He also hit a boundary on the final ball, leaving England to chase 12 runs in the final three overs.
The 48-run stand between Ali and Stokes came to an end after Wasim dislodged the former’s stumps. The left-hander’s short, but valuable cameo was over at 19 runs in 13 balls. England needed 6 in 10 balls and five of their batters were back in the hut for 132. Stokes brought his first half-century in T20I cricket with a four in 47 balls. Scores were levelled. Stokes brought the winning runs, England finished the innings at 138/5 in 19 overs, with Stokes unbeaten at 52* off 49 balls.
