    Thisara Perera to Shoaib Malik. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, to deep cover for 1 run, fielded by Iqbal.

    Pakistan get up to 183-4 after a late onslaught from Ahmed Shehzad and Babar Azam. They had laid a platform which gave them the opportunity to take the attack to the bowlers and punish them. This could be a good chase if a couple of batsmen get in as the track looks very nice for batting on.

    Pakistan take the win and the series by 2-1. They deserved the victory after a brilliant performance with bat and ball. Most of the bowlers chipped in with wickets with Hasan Ali taking 2-28 while Rumman Raees was economical, with 1-20 from his four. There was a late fightback from the World XI but it wasn't enough to get them over the line. This series will have done wonders for the chance to get international cricket back in Pakistan and hopefully we will see that soon.
