England v Pakistan, 5th ODI – Statistical Highlights

Pakistan bagged a consolation win against the hosts England only to avoid the whitewash in the final game of the 5-match ODI series. After conceding the Super Series with the 4th straight loss in the previous game, Pakistan did a great job to chase down the 303-run target. Earlier, England posted 302/9 in their 50 overs, which was certainly 20 runs shorter to the circumstances they were before the last 10 overs.
