It’s the final of the T20 World Cup 2022 and Pakistan set a 137/8 defensible goal against England at the MCG in Melbourne on Sunday, 13 November. Sam Curran swam three important forts.
English captain Jos Buttler won the toss and decided to take the field first. From the very beginning, England’s tight bowling tied the Pakistanis; They were scoring slowly but kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
Openings Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizvan Ben Stokes cleared the first ball of the half when he came out to kick. The next ball was clear, but it was the only fault of the English bowlers.
As Sam Curran took the ball in fifth, he sacked the dangerous Rizwan, who scored 15 points from 14 balls on his second ball. Young Mohammad Haris, who played his fourth hit in this tournament, was sent to the ground to play big shots, but Adil Rashid sacked him in his first match. Harris could only score eight points from 12 balls.
The next name to leave was Pakistan captain Babar at the first ball of Rashid’s 12th leg. Rashid has now fired Babar four times in T20Is. Babar scored 32 points from 28 balls when Rashid foolishly had Rashid pull Babar off his back foot, but the bat hit the top of the bat and the bowler went towards the player; Rashid reacted quickly, diving in and catching the prey. She was also a wicket girl for Rashid.
The next batter, Iftikhar Ahmed, failed to open his batting hits when Stokes sent him back for a duck on the second ball of the 13th round. Pakistan reached the 100-run record in the 15th lap.
Curran came back in 17th and on his third ball showed Shan Masood, a well-adjusted hitter, his way back to the pavilion. He took a slower hit in length that Mesud tried to lift to the side of the leg, but the timing was bad; Liam Livingstone caught a simple catch. Masood left after two fours and sixes, 28 balls, 38 points.
Fans expected Shadab Khan to produce something phenomenal, but he scored 20 points from 14 balls in two sixes before Chris Jordan sacked him with his short ball on the second ball of the 18th round. Shadab tried to fire a big shot and lost his shape; He then finished off by sending a simple catch-air to mid-duty Chris Woakes.
Curran took his third base, sacking Mohammad Nawaz on the third ball of the 19th quarter. Wasim also awarded Livingstone the elimination, which Jordan defeated in the final. In the end, Pakistan’s entire score was a minor 137/8 total in their 20 shootout.
