Arafat Minhas’s Sensational 6-Wicket Haul helps Pakistan Crush England by 87 Runs in ODI

In an emphatic display at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Pakistan defeated England by 87 runs in an ODI tri-series match, largely thanks to a sensational all-round performance by Arafat Minhas. The 21-year-old left-hander first rescued Pakistan's innings with a maiden ODI half-century, scoring 59 runs off 58 balls, to help set a target of 302-9. He then returned to demolish England's batting lineup with a magical six-wicket haul, bowling them out for 215 in 38.5 overs. Minhas's key dismissals included opener Tom Banton for 57 and captain Harry Brook for five, alongside Jordan Cox, Jamie Overton, Will Jacks, and Adil Rashid. This performance marks Pakistan's second victory in the tournament and highlights Minhas as a significant emerging talent and potential match-winner for future ODI plans, offering a strong argument for his inclusion in the squad.
