Much harder to watch off field, my heart would have stopped - Shadab Khan

The National Stadium hosted one of the greatest T20I between Pakistan and England as the home side as Pakistan clinched victory in the fourth game of the seven-match series.

The game had many ups and downs, with England close to winning and taking a 3-1 lead. But Haris Rauf's 19th over turned the game as he bagged two wickets in two balls while Reece Topley was run out in the final over, which led the home side to win by three runs and level the series 2-2.

Reacting to the thriller, Pakistan vice-captain Shadab Khan said that watching the match from outside the field is more difficult than struggling to win on the field.

Shadab has rested and has not played in any of the four matches so far but he was at the match's venue, cheering his team on.

"Watching the match from outside the field is tougher. My heart would have stopped. What a match it was," he tweeted.

Bahir bhet ker dekhna zyada mushkil hai. Mera dil band ho jana tha. Kya kamal match tha. @AasifAli45 ke chakkay, @MHasnainPak ka new ball spell, @IftiAhmed221 bhai ki offspin, @mnawaz94 ka jigra, @Wasim_Jnr ka spirit aur @HarisRauf14 love u ho gaya. Team effort. #PakistanZindabad pic.twitter.com/lrVhqodYxo

He praised batter Asif Ali, pacer Mohammad Hasnain, spinner Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim Jr and pacer Haris Rauf for the team effort and the individual skills they showed at the match.

Pakistan will now face England in the fifth T20I on Wednesday (September 28) as the action now moves to Lahore for remaining three matches of the series.
