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.
