CARDIFF: Saqib Mahmood marked his return to England duty with a four-wicket haul as the completely changed hosts put their COVID-19 problems behind them with an emphatic nine-wicket win over Pakistan in the first One-Day International at Cardiff on Thursday.
Player of the match Mahmood took an ODI best 4-42 as Pakistan were skittled out for just 141 with more than 14 overs left to bat. England, the reigning 50-over world champions, finished on 142-1 to go 1-0 up in a three-match series ahead of Saturday’s clash at Lord’s.
Dawid Malan was 68 not out after a run-ball fifty. Together with Test batsman Zak Crawley (58 not out), one of five ODI debutants in the England team, he shared an unbroken stand of 120 as a match scheduled for 100 overs finished in a mere 67.1 overs.
