England secured a place in the T20 World Cup semifinals after defeating Pakistan in a thrilling Super 8 encounter, powered by a magnificent captain’s century from Harry Brook. Batting first, Pakistan posted a competitive total of 164/9, with Farhan scoring a steady 63 off 45 balls. England bowlers Liam Dawson (3/24), Jamie Overton (2/26), and Jofra Archer (2/32) kept the scoring under control. In reply, England faced early setbacks, losing quick wickets and slipping to 35/3, but Brook anchored the chase with a sensational 100 off 51 deliveries, guiding his side to victory in 19.1 overs despite late drama.
Brook’s aggressive yet composed innings proved decisive as he stitched crucial partnerships with Sam Curran and Will Jacks to revive England’s innings under pressure. Pakistan briefly fought back with tight bowling in the final overs, creating suspense as wickets fell rapidly, but Archer sealed the win with a boundary in the last over. With consecutive Super 8 victories, England confirmed a semifinal berth for the fifth successive time in T20 World Cup history, while Pakistan’s chances of progressing in the tournament were virtually eliminated.
