Azam won't be denied
Jul 13, 2021
Five days ago: Babar Azam was out for 0. The entire team scored 141 runs all out. England viciously crushed them by nine wickets with 28 overs to spare.
Three days ago: Azam out for 19. Pakistan all out for 195 while chasing 247.
Today: Azam scores the biggest hundred of his life: 158 glorious runs.
Ben Stokes out for 32. England need 150 runs in 23 overs with 5 wickets in hand. This is Pakistan's match to lose.
England need 62 runs in 10 overs with 5 wickets in hand. The Pakistani bowlers couldn't stop Vince and Gregory from smashing their highest ODI scores. Advantage: England.
England win by 3 wickets with 2 overs to spare. The World Champions have incredible depth. They lost so many key players just before the start of the series but kept playing their aggressive style of cricket and beat Pakistan in three increasingly impressive matches. Today, Azam's best wasn't enough! At least, we got one truly competitive match.
