Pakistan vs England, 2nd T20I: Discussion in dressing room was that we can chase it down, says Babar Azam

Pakistan captain Babar Azam and his opening partner and wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan scripted a record-breaking win for the side as the hosts chased down a target of 200 runs by 10 wickets against England in Karachi.

Opting to bat, England rode on a late surge from Moeen Ali, who struck an unbeaten 55 off 23 and posted 199/5 in 20 overs. Later, Babar and Rizwan took the charge and helped Pakistan go over the line. The Pakistan skipper notched up his second T20I hundred during the chase while Rizwan returned not out at 88 off 51.

Babar later talked about the discussions he had with Rizwan in the middle.

“The discussion was we can chase it down, we have done it before and that was the belief in the dressing room. The wicket always plays better under lights and it played better than what we expected.

“The discussions with Rizwan were to finish the match. I always had the belief (during the run of low scores) and you need that as a sportsman. The team always supported me and kept backing me,” the right-handed batter said during the post-match presentation.

England captain Moeen Ali admitted that it was his over that change the course of the match where he was hit for 21 runs.

“It was a very good score. It was a good wicket in the end. We were bowling okay, but the momentum changed when I bowled my over and gave 21 runs. We played really well with the bat. Duckett’s innings gave us a good platform,” he said.

The series is now levelled at 1-1 with the third match scheduled to take place on Friday in Karachi.

Past masters of Indian badminton: Meena Shah defied norm to clinch dozen national titles before knee injury cut career short

In the history of women’s badminton in India, there have been three outstanding players who have each had the distinction of bagging the national singles title seven times in a row. The first of these was Meena Shah, who made the national crown her own between 1959 and ’65; the second was Madhumita Goswami-Bisht, who won the title in an unbroken reel of seven from 1984 to ’90, and ended up with ten singles crowns; and the third was Aparna Popat, who made it nine in a row between 1997 and 2005. Stroke artist Ami Ghia-Shah, who reached an unbelievable 15 national singles finals among the 36 summit clashes she managed in a 19-year career, has also been anointed national singles queen on seven occasions, but these were not in consecutive years. Ami won four consecutive titles from 1973 to ’76, and then again in 1979, ’80 and ’83. There is one thing that Aparna, Madhumita and Ami had in common – they have all been slim and trim during their reign at the top. Meena Shah, on the other hand
