Pakistan Clinches 2-1 Series Victory Over England

Pakistan's spin bowlers, Noman Ali and Sajid Khan, played pivotal roles in securing a 2-1 series victory over England, leading to a nine-wicket win in the third Test in Rawalpindi. Captain Ben Stokes acknowledged the duo's exceptional performance, as they collectively claimed 39 wickets across the last two Tests, highlighting England's struggles against spin conditions. After a heavy defeat in the first Test, Pakistan made bold selection choices, dropping key players like Babar Azam, which proved fruitful as they leveraged home advantage effectively. Despite a strong start to the series with a high-scoring first Test, England's batting lineup faltered, losing their last seven wickets in just over 17 overs in the final match. Stokes emphasized the need for consistency and resilience in the batting unit, as the team prepares for an upcoming series against New Zealand. The series defeat raises questions about England's approach to spin bowling, with introspection necessary for improvement.
