PAK vs ENG T20 WC Final Highlights: Stokes’ 52* guides England to the title- QHN

That would be it then. Ben Stokes does it again and England are the World T 20I Champions. They also become the first team to hold both the T20 and ODI World Cup at the same time. They have beaten Pakistan by five wickets as they chase down 138 with six balls to spare. 

A total of 137 was never going to be a tough chase, but Pakistan bowlers put in their all to try and defend it. But Stokes’ patient 52* won it for England. Naseem Shah, Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf bowled their heart out and at one point, England needed 45 off 31 balls before Afridi had to walk back due to an injury and that’s when the game changed as England scored 26 off the next 8 balls, five of which were bowled by Iftikhar, the part-timer.
