On Sunday, England achieved a landmark by becoming the first team to simultaneously hold the 50-over Cricket World Cup and the 20-over Cricket World Cup. Following a tense victory at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the T20 World Cup final against Pakistan, the team captained by Jos Buttler was able to accomplish the task.
After the match was over, the illustrious fast bowler Wasim Akram pointed out a few errors that were done by the Pakistan squad during the championship match. Wasim Akram was of the opinion that despite the fact that the team fought hard, their batting strategy was not up to par. In addition to that, he pointed out a couple mistakes that the skipper made, which ultimately worked out better for England.
Wasim Akram stated on A Sports
“On this course, a combined score of 137 was never going to be sufficient. When we were at bat, we committed a staggering number of errors. In the end, we put up a good fight. The injury suffered by Shaheen had an effect, as he was only able to bowl one over. There were some captaincy difficulties that came up in the middle, particularly when Moeen Ali came out to bat. In that situation, I believe that Iftikhar ought to have bowled an over”.
Ben Stokes and Sam Curran were instrumental in England’s victory over Pakistan in the championship match, which England won by five wickets.
In front of a partisan crowd of 80,462 supporters at the MCG, Jos Buttler’s side restricted Pakistan to a score of 137-8. Meanwhile, player-of-the-match and tournament winner Tom Curran took three wickets for twelve runs, and Adil Rashid chipped in with two wickets for twenty-two.
As England batted in response, they were reduced to 49-3 in the sixth over. Facing a fierce pace attack, they were having trouble gaining any sort of footing, and it was difficult for them to find boundaries.
But Stokes (52 not out) and Moeen Ali (19), utilizing their expertise and keeping a level head, led England to victory with six balls to spare.
