However, Babar Azam and his team failed to do so. Pakistan were set a daunting target of 389 runs to level the series.
However, the team lost three wickets at the score of 14. Saud Shakeel, who had been struggling for runs for some time, came out determined to make his mark. He kept Pakistan’s hopes alive by sharing a 97-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Shan Masood. But when this partnership broke, Saud Shakeel began to add runs quickly. He scored quickly against the short ball.
