Overview
- The Group C match in Harare was rain-affected, with England posting 210 all out led by a 66 from Caleb Falconer.
- Pakistan’s chase reached 173 for 9 in the 47th over while pursuing 211, leaving 38 still required with one wicket in hand.
- Ali Raza wandered out of his ground at the striker’s end without completing his crease and captain-wicketkeeper Thomas Rew broke the stumps to finish the game.
- Pakistan captain Farhan Yousaf top-scored with 65 and later acknowledged that concentration lapses hurt his side.
- Rew said England felt under par at halfway but praised their fielding and the grounds staff, as England face Zimbabwe on January 18 and Pakistan meet Scotland on January 19.
