In a virtual series decider, England defeated Pakistan by a margin of 8 wickets to level the series. In what happens to be one of the most exciting T20I series on Pakistani soil, both the hosts and visitors have given a tough fight to each other. England especially who are playing without their skipper Jos Buttler have found unlikely heroes in a few youngsters such as Harry Brooks and Philip Salt. The English team will be content with the fact that their bench has delivered when they needed them the most.
