Pakistan v England - 1st One Day International - at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore - 1987/8 - Pakistan Innings

 Pakistan v England - 1st One Day International - at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore - 1987/8 - Pakistan Innings


Half centuries to openers Rameez Raja and Shoaib Mohammad put the pitch into perspective as Pakistan cruised to victory without the loss of a wicket.

The ease with which the pair scored off a listless attack after a limp batting display by the visitors was worrying for England on what now looks like it could be a very tough tour.

Pakistan went into the match as underdogs without the star pair of Javed Miandad and Imran Khan but won easily in the end, Man of the Match being Wasim Akram who left his batsmen an easy target to chase.
