In a stunning conclusion to the three-match Test series between Pakistan and England, Pakistan emerged victorious in the third and final Test at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, winning by 9 wickets and securing the series 2-1. Pakistan’s star spinner, Sajid Khan, was instrumental in this win, delivering a masterclass ??in spin bowling?? to claim England’s last crucial wickets and seal the series.

Sajid Khan’s stunning delivery seals Jamie Smith’s wicket

One of the major highlights of Day 3 came when Sajid bowled an incredible delivery to dismiss England’s Jamie Smith, effectively sealing England’s fate. In the 25th over of England’s second innings, Smith attempted a wild slog, charging down the track to meet the ball, but Sajid anticipated his move and skillfully slowed the delivery. The ball spun sharply and crashed into Smith’s middle stump, leaving England reeling. Smith was bowled out after managing only 3 runs from 16 balls, a dismissal that demonstrated Sajid’s precise control and mastery of spin.

Collingwood highlighted Smith’s ability to entertain the crowd and put opposing teams under pressure with his aggressive batting.

“He is certainly an entertainer. You go back to the days of Adam Gilchrist when he came in at seven for Australia. He is going to put a lot of teams under pressure when you have the skills and the power he has,�?/em> Collingwood was quoted as saying by ICC.
