England completed a solid performance against Pakistan as they completely thrashed the hosts during the seventh and final T20I encounter played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on October 2 (Sunday).

England, batting first, on the invitation of opposition skipper Babar Azam, came hard at Pakistan bowlers as they amassed a massive total of 209/3 in the allotted 20 overs, thanks to valuable contributions from Dawid Malan, Harry Brook, and Ben Duckett.

The visitors then restricted the home team to 142-8 to end their first tour to Pakistan in 17 years with a series victory by winning the decider last game by 67 runs.

England's premier new ball bowler Chris Woakes struck early by dismissing Babar Azam for 4 runs in the opening over to give a major setback to the home team.

Babar scored just four runs in four balls with the help of just one boundary. While Reece Topley dismissed Mohammad Rizwan for 1 run in the second over. Pakistan's chase appeared to be over in 9 balls as they were reduced to 5 for 2 after losing their two batting heavyweights in skipper Babar and the number one T20I batter Rizwan.

Pakistan were chasing a massive target of 210. In the end, Pakistan fell short by 67 runs which also cost them the series 4-3. It was a forgettable evening for Babar as he was also seen dropping a catch.
