The match begins at 7:00 PM IST 

Star Pakistani fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi gave Pakistan a dream start in the Super 8 match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 against England. He struck with the very first ball of his opening over, dismissing England opener Phil Salt for a duck at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.

Afridi made an immediate impact by taking Salt’s wicket with the first delivery of his spell. He bowled a hard-length ball around the off stump that moved slightly away from the right-handed batter.

Salt tried to drive the ball through the offside but played it away from his body. The ball took a thick outside edge and flew to the wicketkeeper. Usman Khan reacted quickly, diving to his right to complete a sharp catch. England lost an early wicket, as Salt was out for a golden duck.

Usman Tariq Drops Easy Catch in Crucial Super 8 Clash

The Pakistan team once again missed a simple chance in an important match. Spinner Usman Tariq dropped an easy catch during the Super 8 match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 against the England cricket team at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.

Jacob Bethell got a lucky escape after the dropped catch. Usman Tariq was fielding at short fine leg when Bethell tried to hit Saim Ayub for a big shot. The ball took an edge and went high in the air near Usman. Wicketkeeper Usman Khan also ran toward the ball. However, Usman Tariq called for it, and Usman Khan stopped. Tariq failed to hold on, and the catch was dropped.

Pakistan posted 164 runs after batting first

Earlier, Pakistan scored 164/9 after being asked to bat first. It was their highest first-innings total against England in T20 World Cup history.

Sahibzada Farhan played a strong innings. He scored 63 runs from 45 balls, with seven fours and two sixes. It was his second half-century of the tournament. He got support from Babar Azam (25) and Fakhar Zaman (25). They built useful partnerships and kept the innings steady.

In the final overs, Shadab Khan added quick runs. He scored 23 off 11 balls and helped Pakistan cross the 160-run mark.

With runs on the board, Shaheen Shah Afridi gave Pakistan a strong start with the ball. His early wicket put pressure on England in this must-win match.

England will face Pakistan in the 45th match of the Super 8 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele. England defeated Sri Lanka by 51 runs in their previous match, successfully defending a target of 146 runs. Will Jacks was named Player of the Match. 

Meanwhile, Pakistan's first match against New Zealand was abandoned due to rain. Pakistan is in second place in the Super 8 (Group B). England will be looking to secure a place in the semifinals by winning this match, while Pakistan will be focused on registering its first win. Pakistan used spin for 15+ overs against India and could repeat that strategy versus England on this slow surface of Pallekele.

ENG vs PAK Match FAQs

England produced an all-round display to defeat Sri Lanka by 51 runs in Match 42 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. England batted first, scoring 146 runs with nine wickets lost at the end; although they were not able to score evenly through their innings, having previously been limited to fewer than 100 runs per three overs, they found a way to reach that threshold thanks to Philip Salt, who scored a fluent half-century (62 runs off just 40 balls). Although Sri Lanka's bowlers were able to take wickets at regular intervals throughout their innings, loss of main bowlers towards the end of innings allowed England to maintain their momentum and confidence in having plenty of runs to defend against.

Salt displayed his prowess with a solid innings made of crisp stroke play, hitting six boundaries and two sixes. Other players struggled to find their rhythm early, after giving away wickets to Jos Buttler, Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton and Harry Brook; Will Jacks counterattacked with a quick-fire innings of 21 from 12 deliveries while Sam Curran was able to add a few valuable runs late on. Although Sri Lanka maintained their discipline in bowling and were able to prevent/make it difficult for England to have any late innings momentum, they were still able to score over 140 and that ultimately would be sufficient to win the match. Maheesh Theekshana was particularly economical in his overall bowling effort and Dunith Wellalage was able to claim three wickets, however, both bowlers lacked consistent support from the remaining players of Sri Lanka's bowling unit at critical times throughout the innings when England were building partnerships which could have taken the match away from Sri Lanka.

After a rapid start by England, it quickly became clear that Sri Lanka would have a tough time chasing down the total. Quick wickets (two from Jofra Archer and three from Will Jacks) destabilised the top three batters for Sri Lanka (Pathum Nissanka and Kamil Mishara both fell cheaply). Liam Dawson and Adil Rashid continued to put Sri Lanka's batters under pressure during the 'middle overs', using the development of turn and bounce to their advantage. Captain Dasun Shanaka fought hard to keep the innings going, scoring an unbeaten 30, but had little or no help from his partners. Ultimately, Sri Lanka were bowled out for 95 in 16.4 overs, showing how poor the bowling from England and the fielding from England were as the English bowlers and fielders created consistent pressure on the Sri Lankan batters over the course of the initial innings.

England spinners tighten screw on Sri Lankan batting

The bowlers of England executed their plans perfectly with respect to their varying pace and lengths. Archer set up and led an aggressive attack with great pace and movement, whilst Jack’s off spin was key in removing the Sri Lankan middle order in a hurry. Rashid’s excellent control and Dawson’s accuracy ensured that Sri Lanka could not recover. The fielders all contributed to a successful bowling display by taking vigilant catches and producing a key run out in the first half of the match. Together, this performance showcased England’s depth and ability to adapt to high-pressure matches – which will be critical as the tournament approaches its exciting knock-out phase.

England's win sets them up well in the Super Eights table and greatly enhances their net run rate. Overall, a solid team performance with bat and ball will give England confidence as they face stiffer opponents in upcoming matches. Sri Lanka must now regroup quickly and find ways to overcome the batting weaknesses that were exposed against England's high-quality spin and pace attack. However, there is still enough experience on the Sri Lankan side for them to be able to come back from this defeat if their more experienced players perform strongly. With the competition becoming progressively more intense, such performances will show how quickly — and decisively — momentum and execution can impact the results of matches played between equally talented international teams at this level today.

Sri Lanka, the co-host, will face England in the second Super 8 match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, which will be played on Sunday, 22 February, at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. Sri Lanka finished second in the Group B points table, winning three and losing one match. They lost their last league match by six wickets against Zimbabwe, failing to defend the target of 178 runs. 

Similarly, England finished second in the Group C points table with three wins. They won their last match by 24 runs against Italy. They batted first, posted a big total of 202 runs, and then successfully defended the target. All-rounder Will Jacks was the standout performer for England in their last match, scoring 53 runs off 22 balls and taking one wicket.

West Indies secured a commanding 30-run victory over England in the 15th Group C encounter of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, powered by a brilliant all-round batting effort and disciplined bowling. After early setbacks that saw Brandon King and Shai Hope dismissed cheaply, the innings was rebuilt through crucial partnerships. England fought hard in response but were eventually bowled out for 166 in 19 overs, falling short of the challenging 197-run target set by the Caribbean side.

Sherfane Rutherford was deservedly named Player of the Match for his outstanding unbeaten 76 off 42 deliveries. Walking in during a tricky phase, he anchored the innings while maintaining an aggressive tempo, smashing seven sixes to shift momentum decisively. His partnerships with Rovman Powell and Jason Holder proved vital, especially the 61-run stand with Holder that lifted West Indies toward a formidable total of 196 for 6. Holder’s late flourish further compounded England’s struggles at the death.

England began their chase aggressively, with Phil Salt striking 30 off 14 balls in a fiery start. However, regular wickets derailed their momentum. Gudakesh Motie starred with three crucial breakthroughs, including the scalps of Jacob Bethell and Harry Brook. Roston Chase chipped in with two wickets, while Akeal Hosein and Shamar Joseph maintained pressure. Despite Sam Curran’s fighting 43 not out, England’s lower order crumbled under sustained pressure, sealing a comprehensive West Indies win.

After England sent West Indies to bat first at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday night (February 12), West Indies scored 196/6 in 20 overs, mainly thanks to Sherfane Rutherford's 76 not out off 42 balls, and crucial 30s by Roston Chase (34) and Jason Holder (33).
