Pakistan 232 for 6 (Azam 85, Rizwan 63) beat England 201 (Livingstone 103, Afridi 3-30) by 31 runs 

Liam Livingstone scored England's quickest T20I century to no end as Pakistan won an exciting challenge by 31 rushes to go 1-0 up in their three-match series at Trent Bridge. 

Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan directed Pakistan to their most noteworthy T20I absolute of 232 for 6 with a 150-run opening association, Pakistan'ssecond-most noteworthy for any wicket in this configuration. 

It implied England needed to better their most noteworthy T20I score while pursuing and Livingstone did his most extreme to attempt to get them there, his 42-ball hundred beating Dawid Malan's 48-ball century against New Zealand in 2019. Be that as it may, with his excusal, they missed the mark, bowled out for 201. Livingstone struck nine sixes and six fours yet, after Pakistan had decreased England to 48 for 3, their bowlers kept on taking wickets at customary enough stretches to gouge the hosts' run-rate, which had been predominant for huge periods. Shaheen Shah Afridi was the pick of the bowlers with 3 for 30 off 3.2 overs and he was phenomenal in the field. 

Pakistan didn't get off to a bursting start. Unexpectedly, before the finish of the powerplay, they were 49 for 0 and it wasn't until the twelfth over that they struck their initial six. They proceeded to score 12 taking all things together, equalling Pakistan's record against Bangladesh in 2007. 

Rizwan was all the while scoring at a show a ball to the furthest limit of the eighth over yet the twelfth over - when he and Azam each struck sixes off Matt Parkinson in about three balls - flagged a speed increase. Pakistan wound up scoring 152 runs of the last 10 overs, their center request keeping up with the energy even after Azam succumbed to a 49-ball 85 and Rizwan for 63 from 41.
