Thus proved that Ben Stokes is a man made for the World Cup. He cried after bowling over Carlos Brathwaite, who crushed him by six points in the final balls in the T20 World Cup 2016 final to help the West Indies become two-time champions. Leaving that upset behind, Stokes won the match against New Zealand in the 2019 ODI World Cup final, and did the same again as the English players tied to reach their goal of 138 runs against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2022. final.
Eoin Morgan brought offensive style cricket to England and what Jos Buttler would want but to captain his side to a World Cup win on his first attempt. His tactics on the field are admirable. He did everything right and made no mistake to limit Pakistan to just 137/8.
“This is the icing on the cake to win the T20 World Cup, it’s just extremely flattering. It’s a long journey and a few changes, but we’re reaping the rewards. Fantastic tournament, Pakistan was a precious time for the group, but this is far from the Irish match..
“Adil’s ending was phenomenal, the guy we always throw the ball to for something to happen. It wasn’t easy at all, he got off to a good start controlling his run rate and that guy Ben Stokes was finally there. He is the biggest competitor. In everything he did, he had a lot of experience to last, timing the momentum he and Moeen had from Pakistan perfectly.”the double World Cup champion added.
When the captain needs a wicket Sam Curran, the young pacer immediately gave in. Player of the Match and Player of the Tournament floated three rooks in the final.
Buttler was England’s top runner and was flying high after Pakistan caught the big fish after Haris Rauf sent him back. Stokes was a pedestrian in the middle half and Pakistan favored him bowling, but they didn’t know what the man would do in the end.
However, there was another development that worried the face of Pakistani captain Babar Azam. Despite sacrificing Harry Brook by catching the ball, it was the sense of speed Shaheen Shah Afridi who injured his right knee once again. He came back to bowling but painfully returned to the bunker.
Meanwhile, Stokes rushed to the goal and became the hero of England. Surprisingly, he scored his first half century in T20I only in this match. He played 49 balls to throw 52 balls with five quads and six spikes.
As a result, England won the final by five wickets and were crowned T20 World Cup champions for the second time; They won the first one in 2010. Also in summary, Pakistan failed to repeat 1992 (two same teams on the same pitch, but with a different result 30 years later).
