Pakistan were dismissed for their lowest Twenty20 score in 40 matches at this level at Sophia Gardens here yesterday as England won by six wickets to wrap up a 2-0 series win with a mammoth 36 balls to spare. World Twenty20 champions England, who completed a 3-1 Test series win over Pakistan last month, will now look for fresh success when the teams meet in the first of five one-day internationals at Chester-le-Street, northeast England, on Friday. Pakistan`s tour has been overshadowed by a `spot-fixing` scandal that has seen Test captain Salman Butt and bowlers Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif all suspended by the International Cricket Council after allegedly conspiring to deliberately bowl no-balls during last month`s fourth Test at Lord`s. But Afridi said off-field problems could not account for Pakistan`s form. "We are coming through a bad situation, but as professionals we should take that from our mind and focus on our cricket." "At this stage I know our morale is very down. It is down day by day, and game by game. But one victory and it will be very high."-Online
