This is how Pakistan's wickets fell

  • ​First: Fakhar Zaman - 12 runs: Logan Van Beek caught on his own ball on the fifth ball of the fourth over. Beek moved his fingers on the ball, due to which the ball did not hit the bat properly and fell straight into the bowler's hands.
  • Second: Babar Azam- 5 runs: Colin Ackerman caught Saqib Zulfikar on the second ball of the ninth over. Babar wanted to pull the length ball, but could not make room and was caught by Shakib at short mid-wicket.
  • Third: Imam Ul Haq - 15 runs: Van Meekeren was caught by Aryan Dutt on the first ball of the tenth over. Caught out at deep fine leg while trying to pull the short ball.
  • Fourth: Saud Shakeel- 68 runs: Aryan Dutt got caught by Zulfikar on the first ball of the 29th over. Shakeel wanted to sweep the full length ball, but the ball went up and was caught by Zulfikar.
  • Fifth: Mohammad Rizwan-68 runs: Bowled by Bas J Leede on the third ball of the 32nd over. Rizwan wanted to defend but it passed between the bat and pad.
  • Sixth: Iftikhar Ahmed - 9 runs: De Leede got caught by Edwards on the last ball of the 32nd over. The short length ball got more bounce and the ball took the edge and went to the keeper.
