England (138/5) crowned T20 World Cup champions after a 5-wicket win over Pakistan (137/8)

[Major]

Stokes first 50 in t20 cricket.

This man is a big occasion player

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

What a clutch player Stokes it.. Does it in ODI and T20 WC also now !! Legend !!

 

[Amjid Javed]

50 for stokes well played.

 

[Cric1234]

The pitch clearly had something in it for the bowlers which should’ve suited Pakistan no excuses underserving finalists England worthy winners.

 

[Fazzy321]

Stokes the anchor

 

[Kianig89]

RizBar again failed at the grandest stage

 

[Aman]

First 50 in T20 cricket lmao.

In a Final...

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Why did bozo bowl Ifti?

 

[Markhor]

Ben Stokes hung in there and once again stepped up in a big occasion. Mentally toughest English cricketer of his generation.

 

[DJhant]

Please explain grace, still remember shoaib malik starting his runner up captain speech my asking forgiveness from Muslim brethren. Irfan Pathan fittingly took the MoM. Then sizda among hindus, comment by an immensely respected bowler in India. So please...

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

I prayed so much for England Win today. Thank you Baba Nanak !!!..

 

[Major]

dont take it to final over, nawaz is gonna get hate for no reason

 

[Usman Chadda]

Stokes first 50 in t20 cricket.

This man is a big occasion player

He gets a lot of luck too in these knockout games.

Had it against New Zealand, and now against Pakistan.

 

[Kianig89]

Buttler Khan

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Alright well played England. Batting as usual betrayed us.

 

[MHN1293]

No

Just no

The last 6 overs by the middle order did screw us

 

[Ahmed216]

RizBar again failed at the grandest stage

It's a tough venue for openers. We bottled it at the end

 

[Mainul]

Pakistani bowlers especially Haris ,Naseem bowled their hearts out.

Pretty small total but took the game deep.

Game plan while batting was wrong. Should have targeted 150. Especially Masood and Shadab should have been till the end.

 

[WCWinnerPakistan2019]

We fought well...never mind. But we need big changes in batting

 

[CricVet]

Wonderful game Pakistan (and Eng). Just get rid of the man leading the side and you have a bright future. Final well played!

 

[sweep_shot]

Congratulations, England.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Congrats England well deserved.

 

[Robert]

England are the first side to hold the 50-over and T20 World Cups at the same time.

Stokes sees England over the line both times.

 

[RajBan]

I thini they were dancing regardless

Yup, they bought the tickets, so those who could not find a Pakistani or English buyer, they need to get the fun either ways.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Brilliant from Stokes in the end. But well played Pakistan, they made a great game of this. Some silly runs given away and the Afridi injury were very costly

 

[Aman]

Stokes fittingly finishes it off.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Done and Dusted !! Great win for England.

 

[zaidihusain]

This match became one sided since the beginning the way it was started by Baber & Rizwan. Bowlers (except Wasim) bowled well and took it till the end. The fact is Pak top 5 batters doesn't have any idea how to set the target while batting first.

 

[Afzal_K]

Shaheen injury changed the game

I agree and what a time to get injured. We need to check that too

 

[Snatch]

Best side in the world, well deserved

 

[Markhor]

Best team won.

Congratulations England - best white ball team of this generation. Pakistan tried to make it a contest but relying on 1992 fairytales and qudrat ka nizam is never sustainable.

Time for Babar and Saqlain to step aside.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Wow Buttler. Congrats to England.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Comiseration, guys.

You played a great tournament.

 

[msb314]

Well done England but not enough runs on the board

 

[sweep_shot]

England have the ODI World title and now T20 World title.

Best team in LOI currently.

This is an atrocious post

 

[Josh]

With this rubbish batting Pakistan was able to reach final only because of the bowling ..England would have won even with 150 on board. Ben Stokes is an absolute legend of the game.

 

[Fazzy321]

Pakistan chokers of today cricket along with India.

 

[7sins]

It wasn't a 160-170 pitch 155 would have done it

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

You didn’t take the game anywhere. England have won comfortably.

7 in 12 required with 6 wickets in hand is a dominant win.

Isn't it a bit sadist to hate one's own to such an extent?

 

[NeVerMind]

Well done England! At least there will be some (British) Pakistani hands on the World Cup trophy.

 

[Gollum]

Well done England. Beat team won!

 

[Thephenom]

England extremely lucky, Stokes was 6/7 edges away from being out

 

[Ab Fan]

Congratulations England!

 

[Civil]

Congrats to English Team and Fans on PP.

Good tournament for us overall, we overachieved by making the final.

 

[Fazzy321]

England have the ODI World title and now T20 World title.

Best team in LOI currently.

2nd t20 World Cup

 

[Mas-LFC]

Congratulations to England.


Commiseration Pakistan.

 

[WCWinnerPakistan2019]

Keep waseem jnr for psl only

 

[GreenBee]

England way too good for orthodox cowardly Asian sides. Well done.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

We reached final, doubt Babar would step down or anyone's head rolling.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

It's hilarious that Indian fans bought tickets for the final thinking their team will be there

So !! we had as much chance to reach finals as other 3 teams in Semis. It is game. Chill and Enjoy !
Those who bought tickets will savour this Pakistan loss. It hurts more to lose at final hurdle. This one is gonna sting a lot as one that got away.

 

[IMMY69]

Well done England.

We were 20 short and Shaheen's injury just confounded it.

We had zero luck today with the ball.
So many plays and misses and it could easily have gone the other way...

 

[Aman]

Was always going to be difficult to beat this England team and then to only put 130 odd on the board made it harder.

Pakistan should be proud of their campaign and effort tonight, just didn't work out with the bat tonight.

 

[dravidthewall]

Pakistan played like cornered tigers

 

[Afzal_K]

How much did Afridi make today for his knee pain, bookie prrice must be high

 

[Theo_14]

The better team won. Pakistan did OK, didn’t let them chase it comfortably.

 

[boomboomcheema]

It wasn't a 160-170 pitch 155 would have done it

Pakistan tried to target 175+ with the bat, ended 20 runs short at 137. That's the gamble. England had the comfort of knowing the target so they do it in the end.

 

[cricketbadshah]

Great final... Pakistan fought hard

 

[WCWinnerPakistan2019]

Isn't it a bit sadist to hate one's own to such an extent?

He is sadist. Dont know how is lives his miserable life...

 

[rhony]

Congrats England!! Very well deserved.
Congrats Pakistan!! You showed you are the 2nd best team in the tournament. This is how you try to defend a low score.

15 more runs in the last 5 overs when you batted, or Running out Stokes when you had multiple chances or if Shaheen wasn't injured could have won the game for you. Brilliant performance and you should be proud. Brilliant final!!

 

[Mainul]

Another heart break. Asia cup ,now world cup.

Pakistani batting is the culprit.
Pakistan should get rid of

Haris, Ifti and Newaz.

What's the point when your all rounder Newaz don't get the 5 balls left in the Shahin 's over?

 

[CricVet]

Shameless Babar will go on demanding for being captain in PSL. Goodluck to Zalmi if he is a CHOSEN leader.

 

[dravidthewall]

Saheen sah injury is excuse..even with 15 runs needed in a over Ben stokes would have chase it

 

[Infinitee786]

Glad england won. Well deserved. Pakistan lost this by poor batting. Random hoicks across the line. Masterclass by the English batsmen showed how to actually time the ball and play proper cricket shots and not wild swings.

Pakistan on the other hand will go back to the dressing room and talk about kudrat ki nizam. Garmi, Sardi. Din, Raat, din Raat, harrna jeetna. Lmao. The circle has been complete and medicority cycle restarts.

GG EZ

 

[asarkar]

Congratulations England. Well fought, Pakistan!

[Cric1234]

England are easily a better T20 team than Pakistan Australia in the final would’ve been interesting hopefully Pakistan can make changes but it won’t happen a final appearance will be used as an excuse to keep things as they are.

 

[dravidthewall]

This 92 vibes are fake...better team won today

 

[saabir]

It's like another Diwali in India. Firecrackers all around in my neighborhood after England Victory over Pakistan. It was a good game of cricket for a neutral point of view.

 

[Humz]

Good tournament overall for Pakistan, not shocked by the result. Was always going to be tough for our batting lineup in Aus conditions.

Should do well next worldcup, we def have the best bowling lineup in the world.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Saheen sah injury is excuse..even with 15 runs needed in a over Ben stokes would have chase it

There is no excuse, it was never Pakistans game. Thank to Haris Naseem and Shaheen making it bit interesting. Batting was minnow level as usual.

 

[Afzal_K]

Surya gets MOS? or Shadab

 

[Humz]

From a batting perspective, England played the MCG the right way, instead of trying to sky it, they were flat hitting into gaps.

 

[Josh]

Best team vs a best bowling team. Pakistan missed a hardik pandya kinda player. India & Pak combined XI would have been so powerful in cricket.

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

batting (middle order) screwed us again

exceptional bowling to take it this close

 

[ChennaiFan]

Congratulations to England! Well played.

 

[enigmatic_stani]

Isn't it a bit sadist to hate one's own to such an extent?

Don't worry we outperformed his Indian Masters comfortably.

 

[CricVet]

Fans/critics will need to stop blaming batting. It has not been the batting, it is the conservative ideology in a game format setup for aggressive mindset.

 

[Krypton]

In which state do you live?

 

[saabir]

Bowling wise Pakistan is a very good team. Their batting is very very fragile. Openers don't play over the top and at no. 8 u required a bowling all-arounder who can bat decently not like Wasim who failed to connect the bat to ball.
