In a stunning turn of events, England faced an unexpected upset at the hands of a determined Pakistan in their second World Cup match at Trent Bridge. Despite being the favorites, the English team struggled to match the inspired performance of their opponents.
Pakistan's bowlers proved to be a formidable force, restricting England to a mere 211 runs. Fast bowler Mohammad Amir led the attack with three crucial wickets, while leg-spinner Shadab Khan took two. England's batsmen, including captain Eoin Morgan and star all-rounder Ben Stokes, failed to make significant contributions.
In pursuit of the target, Pakistan's batsmen displayed remarkable resilience and determination. Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam laid the foundation with a 105-run partnership, while skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed and Haris Sohail played cameos to guide their team to a comfortable six-wicket victory.
This upset has sent shockwaves through the tournament, with Pakistan emerging as a potential dark horse while England will face questions about their form. The World Cup is now poised for more surprises as the teams prepare for their upcoming matches.
