The Three Lions were in trouble but in came the skipper Morgan who scored 66 of just 33 balls and almost got the host home. He was well accompanied by Dawid Malan who also scored a fifty. Eoin got out in the 17th over. But Malan played till the last over and sealed the match for the England team.
Shadab was the pick of the bowlers for Men in Green as he took three wickets in his quota of four overs. Pacer Haris Rauf also took one wicket for the visitors.
