England crush Pakistan to confirm T20 series win

England crushed Pakistan by 67 runs in the decider match in 7-match T20 series to clinch it 4-3.

In the match held at Gaddafi Stadium at Lahore, Pakistan sent England to bat first after winning the toss.

Dawid Malan (78 not out off 47 balls) smashed his first half century of the series and Harry Brook hit an unbeaten 29-ball 46 as both profited from three dropped catches in England's strong total of 209-3.

However, Pakistan struggled from the very beginning as the prolific opening pair of Captain Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan departed within the first two overs. Pakistan finished on 142-8.

Babar, who dropped both Malan and Brook during fileding, gave a regulation catch at cover in Chris Woakes' first over and Reece Topley clean bowled Rizwan off a full-length delivery.

Shan Masood fought a lone battle with 56 off 43 against well-disciplined England pacers with Woakes (3-26), David Willey (2-22), Sam Curran (1-27) and Topley (1-34) all chipping in with wickets.
