Inspirational Ben Stokes guides England home in nervy T20 World Cup final against Pakistan 🟢 iPaperSport
England’s task looked fairly simple after they were set 138 for a victory in this
England, who also tasted World T20 glory in 2010, now become only the second team after the West Indies to win this tournament twice. And the significance of this win, sealed fittingly when Stokes hit Mohammad Wasim for a single off the last ball of the 19th over. For England fans of a nervous disposition – which we’ll assume was the vast majority by the end of this – there were a few similarities with that epic 2019 50-over World Cup final.
It meant Phil Salt, who didn’t bat in that game after coming into the team to replace the injured Dawid Malan, was facing his first delivery of the tournament, one from Naseem Shah he inside edged past stumps for four. He also survived an lbw review on five, too. But Salt only lasted nine balls before bunting Haris Rauf straight to midwicket as England slipped to 32 for two in the fourth over.
