T20 World Cup 2022: Ben Stokes and Sam Curran lead England to victory against Pakistan

Ben Stokes is a “clutch Player.”

On a bowler-friendly pitch, Ben Stokes anchored a chase of 138 with an over to spare, finishing with 52 not out from 49 balls as England became the first men’s side to hold ODI and T20 World Cups simultaneously.

The Sensational Sam Curran

Sam Curran showed his skills again in this rematch of the 1992 50-over World Cup final, which Pakistan won, by taking the wickets of Shan Masood and Mohammad Nawaz. He finished with terrific figures of 4-0-12-3.

Sam Curran took his tally of wickets for the tournament to 13, making the breakthrough when Mohammad Rizwan inside-edged onto his stumps while he snared Shan Masood, who top-scored with 38 from 28 balls.

Adil Rashid was once again outstanding, taking two for 22, including a wicket maiden in the 12th over, with his googly deceiving Pakistan captain Babar Azam, who looped a catch back to the leg-spinner.

Chris Jordan, who retained his place as England decided against risking Mark Wood, collected two for 27, while there was also a wicket for Ben Stokes, who bowled his four-over allotment and claimed 4-0-32-1
