“Pakistan Unleashes ‘Kryptonite’ Against England’s Bazball: A Spin Masterclass in Rawalpindi”

Pakistan has seemingly discovered the antidote to England's aggressive batting style, often referred to as "Bazball," after delivering a stunning performance in Rawalpindi. England faced a swift defeat, losing by nine wickets in just three days, with a dramatic collapse that saw their last seven wickets fall for a mere 46 runs. Former England captain Nasser Hussain remarked that the home team effectively "exposed England" when the conditions favored spin bowling. He noted that all 20 English wickets fell to spinners for the second consecutive match, highlighting that England struggles against spin when the ball is turning and gripping. Hussain emphasized that Pakistan's spin bowlers outperformed both England's batting and bowling in these conditions. In the aftermath of the loss, England's captain Ben Stokes acknowledged that the pitch conditions were not to blame for their defeat, indicating a need for reflection and improvement in their approach to spin bowling.
