England U19 Beat Pakistan by 37 Runs After Viral Final-Wicket Run-Out

The viral dismissal drew ridicule plus unverified fixing claims, with no official action reported.

Overview

  • England defended 210 at Harare’s Takashinga Sports Club, bowling Pakistan out for 173 in 46.3 overs.
  • The match ended on the third ball of the 47th over when Ali Raza stepped out of his crease and was run out by wicketkeeper-captain Thomas Rew off Manny Lumsden.
  • Caleb Falconer top-scored for England with 66, while Pakistan captain Farhan Yousaf led the chase with 65 in a lone stand.
  • Ali Raza had earlier taken two wickets, including Falconer, but his late lapse became the defining moment as video of the run-out spread widely online.
  • Rew said England felt under par at halfway and credited disciplined bowling and fielding; England next face Zimbabwe on January 18, with Pakistan to play Scotland on January 19.
