Pakistan pace spearhead, Shaheen Afridi, failed to take a single wicket as he conceded 40 runs at an economy rate of 10.40 in 3.5 overs.

Haris Rauf led Pakistan's bowling attack with figures of 2/26 at an economy rate of 6.50 in his spell of four overs. Abrar Ahmed (1/42) and Faheem Ashraf (1/31) picked a wicket each.
