Finn Allen pummeled 16 sixes in his terrific knock and helped his team put up this colossal total of 224. He was striking at 221.0 and made life easier for his teammates. Pakistan made three changes to their lineup, but they were still expensive. Rauf leaked 60, Shaheen 43, Nawaz 44, and nothing really worked for them. They managed to slow things down a little bit towards the death after Allen got out, but now Pakistan will have to bat out of their skins to chase down this massive total to stay alive in this series. I'll ice my fingers and will be back soon with Pakistan's reply.

Zubair Dar : "Pakistan's preparations for the T20 world cup is getting a reality check - their bowling is in tatters, their batting doesn't have the sting it will need to compete and their overall strategy for games is quite questionable. I am wondering if this team has hit the rock bottom yet?! "

Varun: "No harm promoting Azam Khan up the order and give the license to go berserk. Might just work for Pakistan."
