Skipper Harry Brook produced a sensational 100 off 51 balls to guide England to a thrilling two-wicket win over Pakistan in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 clash at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.
Promoted to No.3, Brook countered early strikes from Shaheen Afridi with a breathtaking assault on spin, keeping England alive in a tense chase of 165. Despite late jitters, England crossed the line in 19.1 overs, sealing a semi-final berth and marking their fifth consecutive appearance in the tournament’s last four.
Earlier, despite a fighting 63 from Sahibzada Farhan, Pakistan managed 164/9 in their 20 overs after opting to bat first.
