True to his words, Foy came up with another brilliant double century but disappointing that it was achieved during a losing cause.

After posting a mammoth 438 for 3 in 40 overs, thanks a exceptional knock of 246 by Foy, England Blind Cricket Team failed to defend it as Pakistan made mockery of that score.

Luke gave him ample support scoring 90, while Matt Dean made 54.

It was a great effort by Amir Ishfaq who scored a century followed by significant contributions from Abdul Razzak (57), Muhammad Shahbaz (50), Mohammad Jameel (59 not out) and Muhammad Zafar (40 not out) that Pakistan overhauled the target in 38 overs losing six wickets.

Brief scores: Pakistan beat England by four wickets. England: 438 for 3 in 40 overs (Nathan Foy 246, Luke Sugg 90, Matt Dean 54). Pakistan: 439 for 6 in 38 overs (Amir Ishfaq 120, Abdul Razzak 57, Muhammad Shahbaz 50, Mohammad Jameel 59 n.o, Muhammad Zafar 40 n.o)
