Sloppy England start winter with Pakistan defeat
England begin their wandering winter with a sloppy loss to Pakistan in the one-day tri-series in Rawalpindi.
In the opening match of the One-Day International tri-series in Rawalpindi, England suffered a heavy defeat to Pakistan. England's sloppy performance set the stage for Pakistan's Arafat Minhas to shine, taking 6-40 with his left-arm spin. Pakistan's batting lineup, led by Nawaz and Arafat, scored 302-9, while England's Banton and Arafat managed 57 and 6-40 respectively.
England's fielding errors and poor batting performance ultimately led to their downfall, as they were bowled out for 215. This loss marks England's first ODI defeat in Pakistan since 2005 and their first tri-series ODI loss since 2015.
