Pakistan debutant Aamer Jamal defended 15 runs in the final over to help the Babar Azam-led side seal a thrilling five-run win over England in the fifth T20I in Lahore and take a 3-2 lead in the seven-match series on Wednesday. This is the lowest T20I total defended in Pakistan.
Earlier, Pakistan wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan played a valiant 63-run knock after England pacers wreaked havoc to bowl out the hosts for 145 in the fifth T20I. Pakistan got off to a poor start as the home side lost captain Babar Azam cheaply after England captain Moeen Ali won the toss and opted to bowl first.
