  "textContent": "ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's top batter Sahibzada Farhan scored 63 off 45, powering Pakistan Shaheens to post 165 in 20 over clash in the Super Eight clash against England tonight. Pakistan's playing XI had a tough time during their batting as the opponents built strong pressure in the PAK VS ENG Live game.\n\nFollowing the posted 165-run total, the game came to a balance, though Pakistan fell short of the total they aimed for at the start of their innings. Their top-order, expected to set the tone if the Shaheens had won the toss, struggled to stay at the crease as England made early breakthroughs in this crucial match tonight.\n\nDuring their batting, Farhan featured his 63-run total with seven fours and two sixes, while the top-notch batter Saim Ayub and Skipper Salman Agha were dismissed for seven and five by Jofra Archer and Liam Dowson, respectively. Their early departure left Pakistan Greens under pressure to handle the brilliant bowling line of their England opponents.\n\nTheir fall was followed by Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman, who were alslo failed to contribute brilliance as they began with their input. Both Babar and Fakhar managed only 25 each, which left fans in awe.\n\nWith the PAK VS ENG clash live, Mohammad Nawaz went for a duck when he came in, while Usman Khan and Shaheen Shah scored eight and two respectively.\n\nEarlier, Saim Ayub had a bad day, as he couldn't manage a big jerk in the team's total, scoring only 7 off 7 in the 2nd over. Skipper Salman was also not allowed to stay for longer at the crease, managing only 5 off 6 balls.\n\nCurrently, England’s bowlers have put Pakistan’s batting lineup under intense pressure. However, cricket is a game of uncertainties, and with discipline and careful play, the Shaheens still have a chance to turn things in their favour.\n\nTonight’s clash between Pakistan and England got off to a start that experts feel favours Pakistan, after the Shaheens opted to bat first.\n\nExperts believe the Greens' decision to bat first will not gain more chances for the Pakistan playing XI to claim the game against the England team.\n\nPakistan's playing XI has made two changes, while England's playing XI remain unchanged in the PAK VS ENG match. Pakistan brought in left-batter Fakhar Zaman to replace Khawaja Nafay in the batting line, while Shaheen Shah Afridi replaced allrounder Faheem Ashraf.\n\n## Playing XI\n\nPakistan: Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha (capt), Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan, Usman Khan (wk), Mohammad Nawaz, Shaheen Afridi, Salman Mirza, and Usman Tariq\n\nEngland: Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (wk), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Harry Brook (capt), Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, and Adil Rashid\n\nThe post PAK vs ENG Live: Shaheen dead serious, as he picks up first wicket to defend posted 165 appeared first on HUM News.",
