In the 17th inning of the hosts in Manchester, it was no longer possible to play. At that time, England’s score was 131 races over 6 wickets.
England didn’t get off to a good start after losing the draw at Old Trafford. Johnny Bairstow returned with a catch back to Imad Wasim in the first over.
Banton could have returned in the opening to replace Jason Roy, who ended the series due to injury. In the second over, Iftekhar Ahmed dropped his easy catch on Shahin Shah Afridi’s ball. Banton had 5 runs at the time.
England’s two first-rate hitters got off to a cautious start. They can only make 34 runs in 6 power play overs.
After settling down, Banton caused a storm. The big jump passed over Shadab Khan and Harris Rauf. The English starter welcomed the leg-spinner with a six. Shadab hit two more sixes on the first two balls of the next over.
Rauf’s slow was ineffective. Banton played all the big scoop shots and did it random. He hit three sixes and four with 33 balls in the first fifty of his career.
Previously, Malan sold out due to a misunderstanding. Wayne Morgan also started playing shots after going to the crease. England is moving fast.
Pakistan turned around with the help of Shadab, who gave up 28 runs in the first two overs. Banton was caught by Imad on the extra deck while trying to blow it up in all six. Playing 42 balls, he made 61 runs in five sixes and four fours.
The English lost their way with this wicket. Iftekhar made Morgan lbw. Zaman Mohammad Rizwan on the second attempt catches the gloves with Shadab’s ball. Later, Imad stumped Louis Gregory.
After losing 4 wickets in 14 races, England was looking for Sam Billings and all-rounder to get the fight capital. But the two teams were unable to return to the court due to the rain.
Left arm spinner Imad took two wickets for 31 runs. Leg pitcher Shadab scored two of 33.
The second T20 will be played on the same field next Sunday.
Short score:
England: 131/7 in 16.1 overs (Bairstow 2, Banton 61, Malan 23, Morgan 14, Moin 8, Billings 3 *, Gregory 2, Jordan 2 *; Imad 4-0-31-2, Afridi 2-0- 10 -0, Amir 2.1-0-14-0, Rauf 3-0-32-0, Shadab 4-0-33-2, Iftekhar 1-0-6-1)
