\nAll-rounder Imad Wasim is hopeful he will continue in good form in the remaining T20 matches against England provided the pitch continues to support spinners as it did in Friday\u2019s match in Manchester.
\n\u201cIf the wicket continues to behave the way it was behaving, then I am confident of doing well here. Shadab [Khan] will also be able to get support from the wicket and can do well for the team in remaining matches,\u201d Imad said in his post-match interview after yesterday\u2019s match was called off due to rain.
\nThe 31-year-old took two wickets, sending Jonny Bairstow and Lewis Gregory back to the pavilion.
\nWasim said things would have been in Pakistan\u2019s favour if the match had not been abandoned.
\nThe match was called off by umpires due to the wet outfield with 16.1 overs bowled in England\u2019s innings.
\nBefore the downpour, England had made 131 at the loss of six wickets with four overs left in their innings after Pakistan captain Babar Azam opted to field first at the toss.
\nOpener Tom Banton led the English team with a 71-run innings that saw four fours and five sixes.
\n\u201cOf course, it is disappointing to see the game being called off due to rain but we can\u2019t control the weather. We had regained our control on the match, if there was a full match then I am sure it would have been a good result for us,\u201d Wasim said.
\n\u201cEngland are a very good side but we are better than them. I am sure it will be a very good contest in the remaining two matches of the series,\u201d Wasim added.
\nThe second T20I between Pakistan and England will be played on Sunday, at the same venue of Old Trafford in Manchester.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
