Pakistan beat England by four wickets

Abdul Razzaq smashed 46 from 18 balls to lead Pakistan past England by four wickets and split the two-match Twenty20 series on Saturday. Razzaq finished the match with his fifth six, a blast over long on off Ajmal Shazhad. England totalled 148-6 and Pakistan made 149-6 with an over to spare at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
England won by seven wickets the day before. Razzaq, who went in at 78-5 after 13 overs, backed up Umar Akmal (36) and Fawad Alam (28) with a brilliant all-round effort. He also bowled a tight spell of four overs, conceding only 17 runs even as Kevin Pietersen continued his good form.
Pietersen, who hit 43 not out on Friday, made another aggressive 62 and with Jonathan Trott (39) put up a healthy partnership of 98 from 12.2 overs for the second wicket. But a late flurry of wickets allowed Pakistan to stem the run tide.
Trott was run out going for a needless run just when both batsmen were set to cash in on the platform they built. Once he left in the 17th over, Pietersen followed him in the next as he was trapped leg before to Saeed Ajmal. Umar Gul went for 17 runs in the penultimate over but Yasir Arafat just missed a hat trick in the last.
