The caravan of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 came to an end with England defeating Pakistan by five wickets in the grand finale at the Melbourne Cricꦑket Ground (MCG) on Sunday, November 13.
England outclassed Pakistan across departments with their all-round performance. Put in to bat first on a bowling-friendly pitch, Babar Azam & Co. struggled against the potent English bowling attack led by Sam Curran (3/12). Adil Rashid (2/22) and Chris Jordan (2/27) also chipped in at crucial moments. England bowlers were so effective that Pakistan batters could smash only eight fours and a couple of sixes during their innings. Shan Masood top-score🌃d with 38 off 28 balls as Pakistan posted just 137/8 in their allotted 2𓂃0 overs.
In reply, all-rounder Ben Stokes unleashed the match-winneꦅr in himself and played a sensible knock of 52 not out off 49 deliveries. He helped England chase the set targe♒t in 19 overs with five wickets in hand.
