England produced a disciplined bowling performance to restrict Pakistan to 164 for 9 in their T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 encounter, setting up a competitive chase in a high pressure contest. After being asked to bowl, the English attack combined control with timely breakthroughs to prevent Pakistan from posting a bigger total.
Liam Dawson played a crucial role in the middle overs, using his variations cleverly to slow down the scoring rate. His accuracy forced the Pakistani batters to take risks against the other bowlers, ultimately leading to wickets at key moments. Dawson’s spell ensured that Pakistan could not build the kind of sustained momentum that often defines their strongest T20 performances.
Jofra Archer complemented that effort with raw pace and sharp execution at the death. Bowling with aggression and precision, Archer struck at important junctures and limited the boundary flow in the final overs. His ability to mix short deliveries with pinpoint yorkers proved decisive in keeping the total within reach.
Pakistan showed glimpses of promise through a few solid partnerships, but England’s fielding intensity and smart bowling changes kept the innings in check. Every time Pakistan looked set to accelerate, a wicket or a tight over halted their progress. The result was a total that is competitive but not overwhelming on a surface that appears balanced.
