Pakistan and England played a last match of series and Pakistan team lost this match. The Pakistan teams needs to work very hard. Sacrifice then only will Pakistan win every time Pakistan loss. It's difficult for Pakistan to win. The team of Pakistan need to work hard and play with dedication in oder to win. England is a very good  and strong teambas compared to Pakistan team. They win every matches instead abandoned matches .  In Pakistan tour of England, England won the toss and England elected to filed first. England won by 7 wickets with 27 balls. The best match was played by phill salt in the England. The England team performed very well in every matches. The match between Pakistan and England played at country ground Kennington oval stadium. Pakistan runs 157 total but lost. England scored 158 runs and easily won the match. In Pakistan man team side, good performance was showed by adil Rashid bowled 4 conceded 27 runs and took 1 wicked. In Pakistan Muhammed Amir played the power match. The best batting performance in the England man team was by Jonny bairslow scored 28 runs of 17 balls hitting 1 fours and 3 sixs. Congratulations to England

West indies gave the target of 258 runs excellent batting by Nicholas Pooran of 75 runs on just 25 balls with 8 sixes and Rovman Powell also made fast fifty which help his team to post a good target. Australian team failed to chase the target they tried their best but made 220 runs what an outstanding performance by west indies team this is the same team who failed to qualify in 2022 T20 world cup now they are dominating on strong teams like Australia south Africa. West indies will give tough time to their opponents in world cup one more benefit for west indies team is that they will be playing on their home

The England team won the toss and decided to bowl first. The England bowlers made good use of this decision. Pakistan's opener duo Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam both batted well but both of them could not prolong the game. After these two batsmen got out, no one else could bat well for the team due to which Pakistan team is in this condition. In yesterday's match, of course I put Pakistan ahead of England, unfortunately Pakistan could not win the match against England.  If the Pakistan team could have played 20 overs against England, it would have given England a bigger target and Pakistan would have had a chance of winning the match. The target of 159 runs given by Pakistan was not much of a problem for them to win by batting brilliantly. The England team won by 7 wickets and with this victory, the England team confirmed the series.

Pakistan which was once one of the best side in this format is now having no chance of having spot into top four with they are still playing cricket which were their trademark twenty years back no improvement and things are going into the lowest level for them today as they have start I was expecting they will touch 200 figures but as Buttler bring Adil Rashid this 36 years old leggie break all bones of Pakistan, and they were not able to handle part-timer Livingstone as well.

After having score of 157 they were having no chance to fight back and English batting lineup give them good lesson for having some improvement in their bowling which is also going down badly which is the biggest setback for them in recent time all bowlers having good hitting from them all around the stadium with Harris Rauf today have better time, and he took 3 wickets which was useless after having end of this series with the score of 2–0.

Since the 2021 T20 World Cup, the middle order remains the major concern for the Pakistan team. Their openers were scoring runs and also taking the blame for the loss. Pakistan's middle order hasn't performed well in the last match against England. In the World Cup, opponents will be looking to take Babar, Rizwan, and Fakhar's wickets because they are the only players who can steer Pakistan to victory.  In the bowling department, I think they should have included Waseem Jr. instead of Amir. The guy performed well whenever he got the chance in the last World Cup. Amir is a lost cause and a failed experiment. They also need a front-line spinner, as they lacked a quality spinner in the ODI World Cup played in India and paid the price.
As far as England is concerned, their team looked balanced. Englans's bowling attack looked threatening after the arrival of Jofra Archer.


West Indies outplayed Australia in every department. A target of over 250 is not an easy task anywhere in the World. WI batter destroyed the Aussies' bowling lineup from ball one. In the end, Australia did well in the batting department. Keep one thing in mind, Australians did not have their front-line bowling attack.
West Indies has the most explosive batting lineup, and all of them are in good touch. If their bowlers perform well in the World Cup, they might end up in the semi-finals.

I agree that Australian team poor performance was the main reason for their loss to West Indies. Australian batsmen failed to deliver while West Indies bowlers excelled. However I believe that Australian team lack of firepower in power play was a crucial factor. By the way these are the warmup matches and these are not much important basically important is World Cup matches and these warmup matches shows the mistakes of a team which can be resolved before World Cup start. Well West Indies team deserves credit for their dominant performance I place more blame on the Australian team underwhelming display. I hope West Indies will continue this performance in World Cup too.

Warm up match is not an important match for any team. I think Australia did not give full effort to win this match. I say this because we don't see good performances from Australian bowlers. Australian bowlers are quite experienced. I thought I would see a better performance from them. Australia may have tried to find weaknesses within their squad during this match.

However, if the Australian bowlers cannot do well in the World Cup matches, and perform like this match, then the chances of seeing the Australian team in the semi-finals or finals in this World Cup are very low. Australia's bowlers need more improvement if they want to do well in the World Cup.

Every player in the Australian team performed poorly, not losing by a wide margin. The Australian team lost to the West Indies team because the players in the main batting phase did not perform well. Every bowler in the West Indies team performed well, and they were very much ahead of the batting side as well. But the players of the Australian team did not perform well in comparison, but I will blame more on the players of the Australian team. Warner, Agar, Mitchell Marsh if these three players could have performed well in the power play then there would have been a chance to win.

Pakistan cricket team did not do well in the preparatory T20 series before the World Cup. Only two matches were played and in both matches against England, England beat Pakistan by a big margin. Before the Pakistan T20 World Cup we saw that they underwent army training but did not see any effect on their performance. In the fourth and final T20 match against England, Pakistan's poor performance in both formats, batting and bowling, was largely the reason why they lost against England by a big margin. Having won two T20 matches against Pakistan by big margins, England team will definitely be positive enough in the World Cup and they will definitely do well in this World Cup.

No more pool this time?

Buttler won't face any heat because he and RR's management are on the same page but in the future others will face some consequences as it has become a routine for Poms.

During the last ODI WC, i remember reading that one county refused to release an associate player. It's extreme, which i don't support but still, the IPL committee needs to come up with some solution.

This will have an impact once the IPL auctions happen next time. Rajasthan Royals had to replace Buttler with Tom Kohler Cadmore, and that was one of the main reasons why they lost the final round of matches. ECB is simply making life difficult for their own players. Or they don't want their players to participate in the IPL. Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Trent Boult were also there in the IPL. They stayed till the end of the tournament. So what is so special about these England players?

Looking at Buttler's form, can't help but wonder, what if he had stayed back with the Rajasthan? Things could have been different for his franchise.

He's such a key player for Rajasthan and they surely missed his service. The national team comes first but this practice bilateral series against Pakistan was scheduled badly, considering we had 2 washouts.

Babar Azam was out too early, he could have made too many runs and when Babar Azam was out then as usual, the all team lost their wickets but still at the end, Pakistan made a good score just because of Usman Khan effort otherwise, if instead of Azam Kahn, there must be Imad  Wasim then he could be a great finisher and they can take advantage with him at the end of the game and could give more score as a target.

Also, Shadab Khan lost his form and in this series, he is not in form, this we have seen in the batting but we cannot say about his bowling, because his bowling depends on his mood.

It is certainly believable that Pakistan's game depends on Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. We have seen many matches before if these two batsmen can perform well and play well then Pakistan team can play well later on. And if one of these two players performs poorly then no one else can sustain the match well. Although the team won their series in England by winning this match but it is very sad for Pakistan team that they lost the series again. Although you are here congratulating Pakistan team for losing the series if it is ridiculous then it was definitely deserved for Pakistan team. However, if the Pakistan team continues to perform like this, they will never be in a good position and their most important thing is to improve their game.

Middle order collapsed because this was then the spinners were introduced (Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone). The scoring rate went down all of a sudden, and Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan and Azam Khan departed in quick time. Iftikhar Ahmed tried to stabilize the innings along with Usman Khan, and they were somewhat successful in doing that. But in the end, the target of 158 was not enough. Phil Salt and Jos Buttler are in terrific form, and they got to 82 runs in the first 6 overs.   

England team should be congratulated as they won the series against Pakistan team by two nil margin i.e. England cricket team whitewashed Pakistan. Pakistan team's batting and bowling failure is mainly their current suffering. As these matches are warm-up matches before the World Cup, there is no problem losing here. Keeping the World Cup in mind, the Pakistan team needs to move forward well. Also all the players in their team need to work hard so that they can regain their good performance and perform well for the team in the World Cup.

We all know that Pakistan team is a strong team so we want them to completely dominate against any other team this time. Maybe Pakistan team has that ability all the players in their team have the ability to perform well in the World Cup. Apart from Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, all other batsmen of Pakistan team have to bat with heavy responsibility.

Once again, it’s clear that Pakistan relies too much on Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan. Despite a solid start, the middle order failed to capitalize. The batting was terrible, with wickets gifted to ordinary deliveries. A score of 157 is not competitive on a pitch where 200+ is expected. England easily chased the target it under 16 overs.
Congratulations to Pakistan on another series defeat. You've maintained your record.

Congratulations English team for winning the series. Pakistan gave the target of 158 runs England team easily chased down the target 158/3 in the 15th over excellent innings played by Phil Salt 45 runs and Jos Buttler 39 runs. English team openers made 82 runs in the powerplay which put high pressure on the Pakistan team. The main reason of losing the Pakistan team is that they gave a low target and after that their bowling line up also failed only Harris Rauf took three wickets. If the target was 200 plus then the match result will be different no doubt the England team was absolutely amazing in bowling batting and fielding after winning the match they also won this series by 2-0.

Just because Rajasthan backed the Parag, it doesn't mean he got some contacts or in the worst case, in possession of nudes of BCCI officials so you are being too hard on Poor kid Riyan and this comparison is odd.

From WK's point of view, Azam Khan is a big downgrade of Rizwan or even Sarfraz.
