Super 8 Round England Win By 6 Wickets

England 148/4 after 19.3 overs// Pak 147/9 after 20 overs

England have won the opening match of Super Eights round by 6 wickets against Pakistan in Barbados. Pietersen's 70 runs not-out innings played important role in the win while Pakistan's bad fielding became the reason of loss.

Pakistan dropped 5 catches in the match. Pakistan have to win next two matches to reach in the semi finals.

Kieswetter started to make Pakistan pay for the two reprieves and with Lumb took England off to a roaring start in pursuit of victory against Pakistan. Saeed Ajmal made amends for the three dropped chances to lure Michael Lumb out of his crease as Kamran Akmal whipped the bails off in a flash.

Abdul Razzaq removed Craig Kieswetter after the England opener had set a good pace for his team against Pakistan in the first Super Eights clash in the ICC World T20.

Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi snapped up his English counterpart, Paul Collingwood with England on the verge of victory. Collingwood had played a decent hand with Pietersen, chipping in with 16 off 15 balls.
