Pakistan recorded their joint-biggest win in terms of wickets in Twenty-20 Internationals by beating England by 10 wickets in the second match of the seven-match series at National Stadium, Karachi on Thursday (September 22). ()

This is the first time England have gone down by 10 wickets in a Twenty-20 International match. It was also only the second instance of Pakistan winning a Twenty-20 International match by 10 wickets. They beat India by the same margin during last year's Twenty-20 World Cup at Dubai on October 24, 2021.

Pakistan바카라™s previous best win in terms of wickets against England in Twenty-20 Internationals was nine wickets at Manchester on September 7, 2016.

Pakistan also became the first team to successfully chase a target of 200 or more against England in Twenty-20 Internationals. India's 199-run chase in Bristol on July 8, 2018 was the previous highest against England in this format.

** The 203-run partnership between Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan is the biggest stand in a Twenty-20 International chase. The duo improved on their record 197-run stand, which they set against South Africa in Centurion last year. The 203-run stand is also the fifth biggest opening stand in Twenty-20 Internationals.

** The target chased down by Pakistan is the highest successful chase in Twenty-20 history without losing a wicket. The previous highest was 184 by Kolkata Knight Riders against Gujarat Lions at Rajkot on April 7, 2017, while the previous best in Twenty- 20 Internationals was 169 by New Zealand against Pakistan at Wellington on January 17, 2016.

** Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan became the first pair to share a 200-run stand for Pakistan in Twenty-20 Internationals. They have had five 150-plus stands in Twenty-20 Internationals while no other pair has even one for Pakistan. Their five stands of 150-plus runs are also the most by any pair in all Twenty-20 cricket.

** Three players to score a century in all three international formats at a single venue, including Babar Azam in Karachi. He joined the list of South African Faf du Plessis at the Wanderers in Johannesburg and Australia바카라™s David Warner at the Adelaide Oval in scoring a century in all three formats at a venue.

**The unbeaten 110 in 88 minutes off 66 balls with 13 fours and five sixes was the second hundred in 77 innings of 92 matches for Babar Azam in Twenty-20 Internationals, the first Pakistan batter with multiple centuries in this format. It was also his seventh century in all Twenty-20s, the most by any batter from Asia, going past Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul and Virat Kohli - all with six tons.
