England win series 3-0 as Root scores unbeaten 62
England secured a comprehensive 3‑0 series victory over Pakistan despite a shaky start in the opening over of the first match. The England side lost two wickets within the first over, with Mohammad Abbas’s aggressive stroke‑play sending Ben Duckett and Emilio Gay back to the pavilion early in the chase. However, England’s batting lineup steadied, and the team ultimately chased down the target comfortably, cementing their series win.
Key to England’s triumph was Joe Root, who returned to the crease on 23 and finished unbeaten on 62, providing a solid foundation for the chase. Pakistan’s bowlers, buoyed by Razaullah’s impressive display the night before, initially appeared confident, but the early wickets disrupted their momentum. England’s bowlers then tightened the pressure, ensuring Pakistan could not regain control of the game. The match showcased England’s resilience and ability to recover from a precarious start.
With the series now decided, England’s performance highlights their depth and adaptability in limited‑overs cricket. The 3‑0 sweep underscores the team’s consistency and the effectiveness of their strategy across the series, while Pakistan’s early promise was ultimately unable to translate into a win. The series outcome affirms England’s position as a dominant force in the current international cricket landscape.
