Pakistan continued their undefeated run in this T20 World Cup 2021 as they defeated Scotland by 72 runs. For Pakistan, Shadab Khan picked up 2 wickets while Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf & Hasan Ali got 1 wicket each. With this win, Pakistan has finished at the #1 spot in Group 2 of Super 12 and will face Australia in the semi-finals.
Scottish batter Richie Bennington was the lone warrior for his team, scoring 54 runs off 37 balls with 4 fours & 1 six. But none of the other batters crossed the 20 run mark, and so chasing a target of 190 became impossible.
In the first innings, Pakistan, courtesy of the fifties from Babar Azam & Shoaib Malik, was able to post 189/4 in 20 overs against Scotland. For Pakistan, captain & opener Babar Azam scored 66 runs off 47 balls with 5 fours & 3 sixes. Meanwhile, Shoaib Malik played a thunderous knock of 54* off 18 balls, with 1 four & 6 sixes.
For Scotland, Chris Greaves was the top wicket-taker with 2 wickets. Hamza Tahir & Safyaan Sharif picked up 1 wicket each.
Earlier, Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss & opted to bat first against Scotland in the 41st match of the T20 World Cup. This match is being played at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah.
Brief Score:
Pakistan finish the Super 12s undefeated
