England secured a 23-run victory over Pakistan in the second T20I at Edgbaston. England set a target of 184 runs, with Jos Buttler scoring an impressive 84 off 51 balls, including a 34-ball fifty and a trademark scoop. Jofra Archer made a successful comeback, contributing 2 wickets for 28 runs and hitting a six off his third ball. Pakistan, despite a strong start by Fakhar Zaman, faltered and ended their innings at 140-7. Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi were notable for their efforts, while Imad Wasim was the standout bowler for Pakistan. England's bowling, led by Reece Topley and Archer, proved decisive, with Topley striking early. The victory gives England a 1-0 lead in the series.
