This was a major challenge for Pakistan's national women' team.

Before the match, they hadn't won on a single occasion against England's women team - in any format of the game. But after a fantastic display of bowling, Pakistan won by 1 run in what was a nail-biting T20 contest at Loughborough.

Batting first, Pakistan managed to set a score of 116/8 in their allotted 20 overs and looked headed for a clean defeat. However, their bowlers turned the tables by sending six players back to the dugout at 52 runs in 11.5 overs.

At No. 8, England's Aaron Brindle tried her best to snatch victory with a gutsy counter-attack of 39 runs in 27 deliveries. But she got run out on the last ball of the match which resulted in a 1-run victory for Pakistan.
