Test Match Triumph

Pakistan cricket team’s impressive victory against the English team is indicative of what is in the offing for the visitors. They may well face more upsets and debacles.
A run chase in the second innings is often nerve-rattling. The English team had given a good account of itself in the recent series against Australia and it was expected that it would win against Pakistan. The odds were against Pakistan. But the home side won, thanks to a spirited team effort and fine bowling.
In my opinion, the England team’s defeat was a result of their over-confidence. The Pakistanis, on the other hand, remained focused and bent on winning at any cost.
