Toggle between tabs for LIVE score and ball-by-ball updates Match 1 Report: Pakistan halted Scotland's giant-killing heroics with a 48-run victory over the minnows in a Twenty20 clash in Edinburgh on Tuesday. Having taken out the world's top one-day international side with a historic win over England on Sunday, the Scots were looking to complete a stunning double by toppling a Pakistan team rated as the top Twenty20 nation. But Grant Bradburn's side were unable to emulate their epic success thanks to solid Pakistan display. The hosts' run chase went flat as Scotland finished on 156 for six in response to Pakistan's 204 for four at the Grange. Scotland had made a bright start, with Ali Evans dismissing Ahmed Shehzad (14) and Fakhar Zaman (21) before Richie Berrington removed Hussain Talat (18). But debutant spinner Hamza Tahir was given a bruising introduction as he was smashed for 57 costly runs off his four overs. Having set a steady rate in the early stages, Pakistan put their foot on the gas in the final five overs. Captain Sarfraz Ahmed led the way as he racked up an impressive unbeaten 89 from just 49 balls, with Shoaib Malik hitting 53 from 27 deliveries. That left the Scots requiring a repeat of the big-hitting which saw them run up a tally of 371 for five against England. George Munsey and Kyle Coetzer made a decent start in reply, notching 50 runs from the first five overs. But the introduction of Hasan Ali to the Pakistan attack provided the injection of pace they were looking for and when he removed Munsey for 25, the Scots looked in trouble. With Calum MacLeod, Sunday's star of the show with his 140 not out knock, trapped lbw by Shadab Khan for just 12, the fight quickly drifted out of the hosts' showing. Scotland will have a second chance to shock Pakistan when the teams meet again on Wednesday.<doc-sep>After Scotland's thrilling victory over the No.1 ranked ODI side England at Edinburgh, their two-match T20I series against Pakistan will be broadcast live for Indian viewers from Sportskeeda on Facebook.

As Pakistan begins their tour of Scotland today, they might be wary of an unexpected Scotland attack, especially after Scotland's thrilling victory over the No.1 ranked ODI side England at Edinburgh, as it is no longer easy to dismiss the power of the so-called minnows in cricket. The two-match T20 series will be broadcast live for Indian viewers from Sportskeeda on Facebook. Sportskeeda has acquired exclusive digital broadcasting rights for the two T20Is that will take place at the Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh on June 12 and June 13, 20:30 IST onwards. Pakistan are by no means a poor team. Being the No.1 ranked T20I side in the world right now, they will definitely enter the tournament as favorites. And the team's victory chances will be backed up the performance of some key players, and here we take a look at some of them. #1. Ahmed Shehzad Ahmed Shehzad in practice prior to the Scotland series Ahmed Shehzad is one of those talented batsmen that Pakistan have tried to nurture over a decade now. He made his debut as a 17-year old against the mighty Aussies in an ODI series. His skill was evident from the very beginning, though he often displayed a lack of consistency. However, since the 2014 T20 World Cup where he became the first cricketer from Pakistan to score hundreds in every format of the game, Shehzad has found a place in Pakistan's limited-overs squads more often than not. A well-rounded opening batsman and often called as the heir to the throne that former opener Saeed Anwar has left behind, Shehzad would be the player that Pakistan looks up to, so as to gain a good start to their innings. Shehzad has scored 1416 T20I runs from 55 matches at an average of 26.72. He has one hundred and seven fifties in his tally, and scores at a decent strike rate of 115.88. 1 / 5 NEXT
