T20 World Cup 2026 In the important match of Super-8, England defeated Pakistan by 2 wickets and made it to the semi-finals. In this match played in Pallikele, Sri Lanka, captain Harry Brook scored a brilliant century and led the team to a memorable victory. England achieved the target of 165 runs in 19.1 overs.
It was a bad start. Phil Salt was out without opening the account. 4 wickets had fallen for 58 runs in 7.1 overs. In such difficult times, Brook took the responsibility. He handled the innings by partnering with Sam Curran. Pakistan’s weak fielding and loose bowling also helped England.
Brook scored 100 runs in 51 balls, which included 10 fours and 4 sixes. Will Jacques added 28 runs. There was a bit of excitement in the end, but Joffra Archer’s four ended the match.
Earlier, Pakistan had scored 164 runs. Sahibzada Farhan scored 63 runs, while Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman added 25 runs each. Liam Dawson took 3 wickets in bowling.
