England collapsed to 11 for four before recovering to claim a 53-run win.
Heather Knight admitted England’s “desperation” to shine on the big stage was responsible for a top-order debacle before they recovered to beat Pakistan by 53 runs in the series-opening T20.
“I think if we are honest the scoreboard flattered us, we did some good things but we were probably a little off the pace,” Knight told the BBC. Knight reserved special praise for Jones, adding: “She is an unbelievable cricketer that goes under the radar, some of the catches she pulls off is brilliant. We almost take that for granted.”May 11, 2024
