Pak vs Eng: The inaugural Twenty20 International between Pakistan and England was played at the National Stadium in Karachi, and gate receipts from the match brought in Rs13m for the Prime Minister’s Flood Relief Fund.

We are happy to report that Rs13 million has been raised since we previously stated that all proceeds from the first T20I against England would be donated to the PM Flood Relief Funds. The PM Relief Fund will receive the funds “In a statement, PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja said.

“The first Twenty20 was viewed by a crowded National Stadium. Thanks to all the fans who attended the game and supported this deserving cause, cricket has once again shown how it unifies our passionate nation.”

The PCB chairman praised everyone who had contributed to the worthy cause of helping the helpless.

“The PCB salutes all those engaged in the relief work and stands solidly behind all those negatively affected by the catastrophe.”

About three times as much rain fell in Pakistan during a record and strong monsoon as compared to the three-decade normal. This led to record flooding when combined with glacier melt.

The nation of 220 million people in South Asia has seen the deluge, which scientists believe was made worse by climate change, affect roughly 33 million people. It caused $30 billion in losses by sweeping away homes, crops, bridges, highways, and cattle.

According to PCB Chief Executive Faisal Hasnain, Karachi spectators have demonstrated that they share the sorrow of everyone who has been impacted by the monsoon rains and floods, which have left over a million homeless and nearly 1,500 dead.

The PCB is honored to have had a little impact on the amount of money raised from the first T20I that will be used to help some of the victims of these devastating disasters.

As England chased a modest 159-run target in 19.2 overs in the opening of a seven-match T20I series, opener Alex Hales scored a 40-ball 53, his first international score in three years due to a failed recreational drug test.

With the victory, England now leads the seven-match series 1-0.
