In a thrilling CC25 clash on October 27, 2025, England crushed Pakistan by 9 wickets with 2.5 overs to spare. Batting first, Pakistan posted 107/9 in their 10 overs. Despite a fiery cameo from Aamer Jamal (24 off 7) and handy runs from Salman Ali Agha (17 off 9), Pakistan’s batting faltered against England’s sharp fielding and disciplined bowling led by Ben Stokes (2/28) and Mark Wood (2/20).
England’s chase was a masterclass in power-hitting. Jonny Bairstow blazed his way to 44 off 15 balls, earning the Man of the Match award, while Jos Buttler (29 off 14)* and Dawid Malan (36 off 14)* finished the job in just 7.1 overs.
England’s aggressive start and Bairstow’s fireworks made Pakistan’s total look modest — a statement victory in CC25!
