The bowler, Wahab Riaz, was still angry at a misfield that had the last ball, inconsequential to the match result, run away to the boundary. Pakistan needed this to shrug off the first-match blues, and England needed it to stub the hype building around them that could cause insane pressure later. Hasan Ali too skidded in two tight overs and suddenly England required 65 from six overs. A day before the game, after the media interaction, a member of the Pakistan camp had leant over and whispered into the ear: “Upset? Bhai, the cup isn’t coming home!” It still might but Pakistan’s win has certainly spiced up the tournament.
