AFG VS PAK: Afghanistan makes history in T20I against Pakistan; See What they did

afg-vs-pak-afghanistan-makes-history-in-t20i-against-pakistan-see-what-they-did

The mega event of this year, the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, is just two months away, as the tournament is slated to start from 2nd June. The tournament will be held in the West Indies and USA this time, and all the participating teams have begun their preparations for this year's mega event.?



The players of Pakistan are pretty pumped up as they are currently going through some rigorous training sessions with the Pakistan army and the training camp will take place till 8th April. Besides the training camp, Pakistan Cricket has been a hot topic in recent times as a lot of changes have been made in their Cricket team. Babar Azam has been reappointed as the T20i skipper following back to back defeats in the shortest format of the game. They lost the five match T20i series against New Zealand 4-1 under the captaincy of Shaheen Shah Afridi and some changes had to be made. Babar has been appointed as the skipper once again and this time around, the Shaheens would be looking to lift their second T20 World Cup Trophy under Babar's leadership.&nbsp;



Bowling All-Rounder Imad Wasim and seamer Mohammad Amir have decided to come out of retirement and have made themselves available for selection for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup. Despite Pakistan Cricket featuring constantly in the news, they have to find solutions to some problems and one of them is the opening combination.?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pakistan's best opening combination for the 2024 T20 World Cup</h2>



Under the captaincy of Shaheen Shah Afridi, the Shaheens altered their opening combination as Babar Azam was asked to bat at number three in-order to let Saim Ayub open the innings with Mohammad Rizwan. But the duo of Ayub and Rizwan failed miserably at the top as they failed to register even a single 50+ partnership in the five T20 international matches against New Zealand.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Saim-Ayub.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-128978" /></figure>



The decision of going away from Babar and Rizwan as the opening duo hurt the Shaheens but now that Babar Azam is back as the skipper, fans will be given another opportunity to witness the most successful opening combination of Pakistan in T20i internationals in action at the 2024 T20 World Cup.&nbsp;



As openers in T20i cricket, the duo of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have managed to score 2830 runs in 60 T20 International Games at an outstanding average of 48.79. Their highest opening stand in T20i Cricket is an unbeaten 202* runs against England in 2022. But, the strike rate of the duo has had a negative effect on the team, with both players opting to bat conservatively more often than not. But this time around, we may witness different versions of Babar and Rizwan, as the duo will be looking to put in their maximum efforts to help Pakistan lift their second T20 World Cup title.



Another opening combination which Pakistan may try is letting the duo of Saim Ayub and Babar Azam open the innings.The duo have played phenomenally well for Peshawar Zalmi as the openers and the highest opening stand between the two is 162 runs against Quetta Gladiators in 2023.&nbsp;



Saim Ayub is someone who likes to attack from the word go and with Saim at the other end attacking the bowlers, Babar can take his own sweet time to build his innings and settle down at the crease with ease. But it remains to be seen which opening combo we will get to witness in the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup.&nbsp;

ENG vs PAK: After the series win over Ireland, Pakistan will be locking horns with England in the four-match T20I series. The games between the teams will be played from 22nd May to 30th May. The series will be ideal preparation for both teams for the <a href="https://www.icc-cricket.com/tournaments/t20cricketworldcup/index" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icc-cricket.com/tournaments/t20cricketworldcup/index">T20 World Cup 2024</a>, which will begin on 1st June.?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ENG vs PAK: 3 opening combinations Pakistan can try in the T20I series against England</h2>



The ENG vs PAK series will be a massive opportunity for the Pakistan Cricket Team to solve all their problems going into the T20 World Cup. One of the major concerns for the team going into the event will be the opening partnership, which hasn?t been delivering well for them.&nbsp;



Therefore the ENG vs PAK will be a great platform for them to look into the combination which they can open with in the World Cup 2024. As the ENG vs PAK is around the corner, let?s take a look at&nbsp; 3 opening combinations Pakistan can try in the T20I series against England



Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan?



The Pakistani team management would be keen to go back to their successful opening pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. The duo was exceptional in opening the batting for the team but since the emergence of Saim Ayub, they have been separated. Babar and Rizwan have done terrific things together while opening the order.&nbsp; With the World Cup approaching Pakistan would want their best at the top and the ENG vs PAK series will be a great opportunity for them to go back to the top.&nbsp;



Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayub?



If Pakistan wants to continue with the left-right combination at the top. They can continue opening with Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayub. The attacking nature of Ayub might allow Rizwan to settle and then the duo can flourish and provide a great start to the team in the ENG vs PAK series and can also make their case strong for the T20 World Cup 2024. It will also allow Babar Azam to bat at No.3, which he has been successful at while batting in ODIs as well as T20Is.?

Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan?



The form of Saim Ayub will be one of the concerns for the team going in the ENG vs PAK series and the T20 World Cup 2024. The young batter has been getting starts but is failing to get going after that. This might prompt team management to promote Fakhar Zaman to the top. The experience of Zaman, who has been opening in ODIs, would be handy for the team and it allows the team to have an attacking batter at the top. He can gell well with Mohammad Rizwan, who has been great as an opener.&nbsp;

ENG vs PAK: 3 opening combinations Pakistan can try in the T20I series against England

eng-vs-pak-3-opening-combinations-pakistan-can-try-in-the-t20i-series-against-england

ENG vs PAK 1st T20I: The Pakistan Cricket Team is on a tour of England for a four-match T20I series just a couple of weeks before the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and the tour is set to start on 22 March at Headingley, Leeds. Here we are with Pakistan Playing For The 1st T20I Against England Prediction.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pakistan-playing-for-the-eng-vs-pak-1st-t-20-i-prediction">Pakistan Playing For The ENG vs PAK 1st T20I Prediction</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#pakistan-squad-for-england-t-20-i-series">Pakistan Squad For England T20I Series</a></li></ul></li><li class=""><a href="#pakistan-probable-playing-11-for-eng-vs-pak-1st-t-20-i">Pakistan Probable Playing 11 For ENG vs PAK 1st T20I</a></li></ul></nav></div>



Pakistan had a couple of T20I series before their clash against England and they have done a pretty satisfying job in those series. They drew the home T20I series against New Zealand and then won the three-match T20I series in Ireland 2-1. Riding on those powerpack performances, Pakistan will be a confident side coming to this series.



Let's check out the predicted Pakistan Playing For The 1st T20I Against England:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pakistan-playing-for-the-eng-vs-pak-1st-t-20-i-prediction">Pakistan Playing For The ENG vs PAK 1st T20I Prediction</h2>



First and foremost, Pakistan announced a balanced squad for the Ireland and England tour. The Squad consists of a group of world-class batters, a group of even better bowlers, and a couple of all-rounders. Below is the full squad of Pakistan for T20Is in ENGLAND:



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="pakistan-squad-for-england-t-20-i-series">Pakistan Squad For England T20I Series</h4>



Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Hasan Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Muhammad Irfan Khan, Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Usman Khan.



Pakistan have invested and seem to be interested in Saim Ayub a lot in the T20I format. This young kid has impressed a lot in the domestic T20 circuit but is yet to explode in the Internationals. He will get a company of experienced Mohammad Rizwan to open the innings and hopefully, this opening duo will work for Pakistan.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Saim-Ayub.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-128978" /></figure>



They have one of the best number three in the world in the form of Babar Azam and the skipper is in pretty good form. Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam have got the skills and power to accumulate big runs in the middle overs after Powerplay. 



PCB have shown interest in Azam Khan. The big boy Khan has a special ability to smash any ball out of the park and he is a good player of pace. His power game should give Pakistan the command to go blazing in the death overs.



To provide stability in the middle order, Agha Salman might make his way to the playing 11. His number might not be much impressive in the T20Is but he showed promising character in the PSL 2024.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/ifti-1.jpg" alt="ENG vs PAK 1st T20I: Pakistan Playing For The 1st T20I Against England Prediction | Full Squads | Pakistan Tour of England 2024" class="wp-image-134334" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Iftikhar Ahmed (API)</figcaption></figure>



Another power-hitter in the contingent is Iftikhar Ahmed. Iftikhar has already won his spurs on the international stage in the shortest format of the game. He is a one-of-a-kind player who can flip the sides with his bat in any given circumstances.



Imad Wasim has made his comeback to the international side and this time he looks more promising with the bat in his hands. He got absolute control with the ball in the Ireland series and he can swing some really big SIXES as well. Shadab Khan, a player with similar capabilities alike Imad Wasim is also in the lineup. These two provide the long batting options to the team and provide additional help to Azam Khan or Iftikhar Ahmed in the death overs.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Naseem-Shah-Shaheen-Afridi-1.jpg" alt="ENG vs PAK 1st T20I: Pakistan Playing For The 1st T20I Against England Prediction | Full Squads | Pakistan Tour of England 2024" class="wp-image-134335" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shan</figcaption></figure>



Then the duo of Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah is pretty certain to take part and spearhead the bowling unit. They both are in absolute red-hot form, especially Shaheen Shah, who has been on another level. There will be a discussion for the last spot and Mohammad Amir, Haris Rauf, and Abbas Afridi are in the race for the spot in the ENG vs PAK 1st T20I.

Pakistan batter Saim Ayub achieved a massive feat in the history of ODI cricket. The opening batter joined Virat Kohli, David Warner, Kevin Pietersen and others in the list of visiting batters with multiple tons in the bilateral ODI series in South Africa.  
Saim Ayub was one of the major reasons behind Pakistan winning the series against South Africa 3-0. The opening batter came up with the magical effort with bat in the entire series and helped his team win all three games of the series. 
Saim Ayub started the series on a dominating note as he slammed a brutal century, and if this was not enough, he came up with another magnificent ton in the third match. The opening batter looked a class apart against the world-class South African bowling lineup. 
Saim Ayub played a vital innings off 101 runs off 94 balls, packed with 13 fours and two sixes. His innings with the bat powered South Africa to the massive total of 308 runs on the board in the 47 runs and then ultimately win the game by the margin of 36 runs. 
With this Saim Ayub became the 5th batter in the history of the ODI cricket to hit multiple tons in a series in South Africa. He joined  Warner, Fakhar Zaman and Joe Root, who have two tons in South Africa. Kevin Pietersen and Virat Kohli have three tons in seven and six fixtures, respectively. 
<h2>As a young player, I look to learn from every game - Saim Ayub </h2>
Saim Ayub, for his heroics with the bat, was awarded the Player of the Match award as well Player of the Series award.  While talking about his performance, he claimed that the award was for the team. He added that seniors in the team help him a lot and he tries to learn. He added: 
“Very special because we won. This award is for the team. The entire team chipped in. As a young player, I look to learn from every game. I look to learn from every mistake. The seniors help me learn.” 
Pakistan started the series with a three-wicket win in the first game. After that, they followed it up with an 81-run victory. In the end, they completed a 36-run win (via DLS method) to whitewash the opposition.

Pakistan have suffered a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Young opener Saim Ayub is all set to be ruled out of the tournament with an ankle injury. The batted faced the injury during the second Test of the series against South Africa. 
Saim Ayub twisted his ankle while fielding and then was taken for scans immediately after he failed to stand on his feet. The batter was ruled out of the match and then was sent to London by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to see a specialist doctor. 
The doctor provided an update that Saim Ayub had fractured his ankle. Not only this but he also advised the opening batter to take rest for 6 months to regain his full fitness. The batter will be further scans before returning home. 
With a specialist doctor advising Saim Ayub to rest for 6 months, this automatically rules out the batter of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to kick start on 19th February; it is expected that the batter won't get fit by the time the tournament starts. 
<h2>Saim Ayub's absence will leave a massive void in the team for ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
This comes as a massive blow for Pakistan as Saim Ayub has been the best batter for the team of late. The young batter has proved his prowess for the team in all three formats for the game and with the kind of form that he was in, his absence will leave a massive void in the team. 
Saim Ayub was at his exceptional best during the ODI series against South Africa in the three-match series. The opening batter slammed two centuries in the series and was adjudged the Player of the Series for his heroics with the bat in the series. 
Although the Pakistan Cricket Board hasn't made any official confirmation, it is learned that they will be making a decision after further medical reviews and assessments. But with the way things have going, it's fair to say that he will be against time to be fit for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Massive blow for Pakistan! Saim Ayub RULED OUT of ICC Champions Trophy 2025

Pakistani legend and former skipper Shahid Afridi has provided a huge update regarding the participation chances of Saim Ayub in the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025 event. 
He has confirmed that the young opener is set to miss this year's marquee event as he continues to recover from a fractured ankle injury he suffered versus South Africa. 
The Pakistani legend shared this update regarding Ayub during a recent interview, shedding light on his struggles with fitness and the lengthy rehabilitation process. 
"I had a chat with him (Ayub) last night and he told me that he would require a minimum of three weeks and only after the end of those three weeks, his rehabilitation process will commence," Afridi said. 
"I gave him the advice of not rushing his recovery procedure. Even a small injury, if not given the appropriate time to heal up properly, can turn into a big and a lengthy one. You're a young player and have a lot Cricket to play in the future, so take your own sweet time recovering from this severe injury," Afridi added. 
The 22-year-old explosive opening batter, who made his maiden International appearance versus Afghanistan in March of 2023, has already managed to establish himself as a key player for the National Team of Pakistan.
In just nine One-Day International contests, Ayub has already managed to slam three amazing centuries and a fifty, with standout performances such as his Man-of-the-series winning-effort versus the Proteas in 2024, where he slammed two hundreds in a 3-0 whitewash victory for Pakistan. 
But, his progress got hampered by a fracture in his right ankle which he sustained on the first day of the Cape Town Test-Match versus the South Africans. This ankle injury has sidelined him for upto six weeks, ruling him out of the Shaheens' Home Test-Series versus the Windows and Tri One-Day International series versus South Africa &amp; New Zealand. 
In order to expedite his recovery procedure, the PCB sent the 22-year-old to London in order to receive specialized-treatment under Azhar Mahmood's supervision who is the assistant coach of the Green Shirts. 
Currently, the Pakistan Cricket Board is monitoring Saim's recovery very closely and they are planning to finalize the squad of the Green Shirts for the forthcoming Champions Trophy event by the 11th of February, ahead of the competition's opening fixture on the 19th of February in Pakistan.
The sources of the Pakistani media have also suggested that the PCB has reportedly opted not to announce the national team's provisional, rather opting to submit the finalised team list directly to ICC.

IND vs ENG 4th T20I: In a match that swung like a pendulum, both teams fought tooth and nail in a contest filled with twists and turns. India have defeated England in the 4th T20I by 15 runs and won the 17th T20I series in a row. 
India’s early collapse left them gasping for breath, but a remarkable fightback brought them back into the game, thanks to two key players. England, chasing a challenging target, seemed to be in control until a sudden shift changed the course of the match. With wickets falling in clusters, the momentum shifted again and again. As the final overs approached, it was anyone’s game. 
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Match Summary</h2>
For the first time in the series, Jos Buttler made the right call at the toss and opted to bowl first after winning the flip of the coin. They had two changes - Mahmood for Wood, and Bethell for Smith. Meanwhile, for India, Rinku Singh was fit and available so there were going to be some changes to the squad. Arshdeep came in place of Shami, Rinku came in for Jurel, and Shivam Dube came in for Washington Sundar. 
INDIA Playing11: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy
ENGLAND Playing11: Philip Salt(w), Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood
<h2>India Innings- 181/9 (20 Overs)</h2>
The Indian innings began on a shaky note, as early wickets put the team under pressure. Sanju Samson, the opener, was dismissed cheaply for just 1 run, followed by Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav, who both fell for ducks in the same over. This was the first time Saqib Mahmood played against India in India and he made the most with three wickets in his first over. The scoreboard showed a fragile 12/3 after just 2 overs, leaving the middle order to rebuild.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679cfa1923a1e.jpg" alt="">
It was a daunting situation, but Abhishek Sharma rose to the occasion, playing a spirited knock. He added 29 runs, providing some stability before falling to Rashid. Despite the early collapse, Sharma’s contribution offered a glimmer of hope.
As wickets continued to fall, it was Rinku Singh who took charge next. His 30 runs came at a steady pace, keeping the innings afloat amid the tumbling wickets. However, with the loss of Rinku, Hardik Pandya stepped in and took charge. His aggressive knock of 53 off 30 balls injected much-needed momentum into the innings.
Pandya, known for his flair, played some brilliant shots, taking on the bowlers with confidence. But as he was dismissed at 166/6, the task of reaching a competitive total seemed daunting again.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679cfa1bcdc2f.jpg" alt="">
In the final overs, Shivam Dube kept the hopes alive, contributing another vital 53 runs. With his resilience and some decent contributions from the middle order, the Indian team recovered from the early collapse and put forth a competitive total of 182 runs.
The innings ended at 181/9, with the team left to reflect on a few crucial missed opportunities. The loss of wickets in quick succession early on severely hampered their progress, making it difficult to post a bigger total. The standout performances of Pandya and Dube were overshadowed by the fragility at the top, leaving India with a comparatively easier target to defend.
England Innings- 
England Started with Salt and Duckett and they just smashed all Indian bowlers to all parts of the ground in the first powerplay. Ben Duckett just went furious with an over 200 Strike rate in the first 6 overs losing his wicket on the last ball of the powerplay. Before that, he smashed 39 runs off just 18 balls. Phil Salt was equally aggressive, smoking four boundaries in the powerplay but fell against Axar Patel in the very next over after the powerplay.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679cfa1641ee7.jpg" alt="">
Buttler went back soon in the 8th over and India were back in the game in the span of just 10 balls after the powerplay. Livingstone and Brook played out the tough session and the pressure started to build. Harshit Rana, the concussion substitute in for Shivam Dube got Liam Livingstone in the second ball of his first over. 
Harry Brook took the charge and started the counterattack. He took Harshit Rana on for 18 runs in the 14th over but couldn't do it for long as Varun Chakravarthy got him just after the completion of his half-century. England were in all sorts of trouble as Bryden Carse also lost his wicket in the same over. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679d0182c8c49.jpg" alt="">
Harshit Rana again struck in his third over and took Bethell out of the game. Soon, Bishnoi got Archer and England were 8 down for 146 runs. They still needed 36 runs off 18 balls. Harshit bowled a tight 19th over and it was all over for England in the last over when Arshdeep Singh got Saqib Mahmood and England were bowled out for 166 runs. The picture was looking pretty clear after the 18th over and Harshit Rana made it obvious that India wins the series.
INDIA won the match by 15 runs

India's stunning recovery from 12/3 to post 181/9 was enough to defend against England, who fell short at 166, losing by 15 runs. Harshit Rana, the debutant rose to the moment and India won a thriller.

India fought back brilliantly after early setbacks, while England's chase crumbled under pressure from spinners, handing India a narrow victory.

India Cricket Team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will be getting the Men's Cricketer of the Year award during the BCCI annual awards. The BCCI Naman Annual Awards are all set to take place in Mumbai on Saturday (1st February). 
Jasprit Bumrah will be receiving the prestigious award because of his exceptional performance with the ball in 2024. He was Player of the Tournament in the T20 World Cup 2024, where he picked up 15 wickets, and also was the leading wicket-taker in Tests with 71 wickets to his name. 
Another holder of the major award will be India Women's cricketer Smriti Mandhana, who will be getting the BCCI's Women's Cricketer of the Year award. The opening batter was at her best with the bat as she mustered over 700 runs in ODIs in 2024 and was the leading run-getter for the team.

The best debut of the year award will be going to India batter Sarfaraz Khan for his heroics in his maiden game for India. He played his first match against England in the Test series and slammed a terrific half-century, and following that, he has been a consistent member of the team. Batting great Sachin Tendulkar will be presented with the lifetime achievement award for his contributions.

Former India wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik is having a great time in the ongoing SA20 2025 for the Paarl Royals. The wicketkeeper batter played his best innings in the tournament on Thursday (30th January) against Joburg Super Kings at The Wanderers Stadium, in Johannesburg. 
Dinesh Karthik had a great outing with the bat for his team and helped his team post a fighting total on the board. The keeper-batter slammed a magnificent half-century and entertained the crowd both in South Africa as well as back home in India with his power-hitting. 
The highlight of Dinesh Karthik's innings was the three sixes that he hit on three balls against Wihan Lubbe in Paarl Royals' 13th over. He hit the first six on a free hit as he went down on the knees and hit a slog sweep into the deep mid-wicket stands for a massive six. 
On the next ball, Lubbe bowled a short ball, which Dinesh Karthik made full use of. He pulled the ball over deep square leg for his second consecutive six and put the spinner under pressure. Then on the next ball, the keeper-batter again was on his knees and played a slog sweep, which went over mid-wicket into the crowd.

Dinesh Karthik played a sensational innings of 53 runs off 39 balls. He batted with a strike rate of over 135 and also slammed 4 fours and 3 sixes in his innings. Thanks to his effort with the bat, Paarl Royals posted a fighting total of 150 runs on the board. 
His effort, however, went in vain as Joburg Super Kings chased the target with 7 wickets in hand. Faf du Plessis was the star with the bat for his team as he played an innings of 87 runs off 55 balls. He batted with a strike rate of 158 and slammed 4 fours and 7 sixes to take his team home.
