Pakistan’s left-handed batter, Shan Masood, recently returned to the national team after a two-year absence; however, his performance in the series opener was unimpressive, scoring only 7 runs off 7 balls, including one boundary.
Masood shone with the bat in the third game of Pakistan’s seven-match T20I series against England, reaching 65 not out off 40 balls, but needed support from the other end to transform it into match-winning innings.
The Men in Green fell 63 runs short of their highest-ever total chase in the shortest format of the game as England’s Mark Wood and Adil Rasheed bowled well, claiming three and two wickets, respectively.
Shan noted in a post-match media talk that it was good for him to spend some time at the crease because it would boost his confidence and morale, but the 63-run setback left a melancholy feeling.
Masood praised England’s performance, saying they deserve credit for the way they batted, particularly Ben Duckett and Harry Brook, and then bowled in the six-over batting powerplay.
"It was good for my confidence to spend time at the crease but the result left a sombre feeling"
