Karachi: England and Pakistan are set to square off in the third T20I in National Stadium, Karachi. After the powerful performance in the 2nd game, English men would have to be extra prepared for this game. 

The series is currently levelled up at 1-1 and the hosts are in no mood to lose at their home. England marked win in the first game by 6 wickets and then Pakistan bounced back with a powerful 10 wickets win. 

Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam break records

The pair broke many records during their double-century stand. They have 1929 runs as partners which is the most in T20I history, surpassing the pair of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan who held the record with 1743 runs.

Babar and Rizwan have also recorded seven-century stands in T20Is which is a record. And the 203-run stand is the biggest chase in a T20 as well.
