England Beat Pakistan In Thrilling Super Over

December 01, 2015

England completed their tour of the UAE with a dramatic super-over win against Pakistan that sealed a 3-0 Twenty20 series whitewash.

After both sides finished level on 154, Chris Jordan's yorkers restricted Pakistan to 3-1 in their extra over.

England had only two from four balls, but, in increasing tension, Eoin Morgan took the winning runs from the fifth.

James Vince earlier made 46 in England's 154-8, while Shoaib Malik's 75 got Pakistan to 154-7.

The win in Sharjah completes an excellent limited-overs tour for England, who followed a 2-0 Test series defeat with a 3-1 win in the one-day internationals.

A sixth successive T20 victory comes in the build-up to the World T20 in India in March. Preparations for that tournament will continue with two matches at the end of the South Africa tour.
