Skipper salman ali agha: Cricket News & Match Updates

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium: Sahibzada Farhan's 63 and a late flourish from Shadab Khan (23 off 11) helped Pakistan post 164/9 in 20 overs against England in a Group 2 clash in the Super 8s stage of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy on Tuesday.

Choosing to bat first, Pakistan had a terrible start in the Power-play as they lost two early wickets. Saim Ayub, who has been out of form in the tournament, yet again failed to impress with the bat. After being tested with multiple bouncers early, Jofra Archer got rid of him for a run-a-ball seven.

Skipper Salman Ali Agha (5) got out in the third over as Liam Dawson struck in his first over.
