But I think Sam Curran and Adil Rashid are the main heroes of England's victory in today's match. These two bowlers of England have done amazing bowling.
Yes they are, Sam Curran bowled one of his best spells in the format and he was instrumental in tying down Pakistan to 137 runs and Adil Rashid bowled well especially against two teams that play spin really well, against India picked up the crucial wicket of Suryakumar Yadav at a great economy and he continued his performance in the final picking Babar Azam and Mohammad Haris.
England played well in this tournament as a whole and I think they deserved the World Cup. Pakistan had a lot of problems in the field. They had to depend on certain hard-hitters players. But almost all the players of the England team contributed to the team. That is what made England so fearless in this tournament. Congratulations to England.
Well, i will call this a close match. Pakistan scored 137 which was on the low side, but how they troubled England's batsmen to chase this score was remarkable. I mean, ask any other team to score 130s and they won't be able to take the match so close.
Had we scored 10 or 15 more runs plus shaheen was not injured, the match result would have been different? Yes, we need to work on the batting and babar needs to come at number 3rd instead of opening, but we lost the world cup by fighting and not like other teams who lost matches by 10 wickets.
I honestly cannot say it was a close game. I have to disagree with you on this one. Pakistan knew what England had done very recently to India and there was no way they could have thought that this target was going to be enough. Shaheen Shah Afridi not being available was obviously not good for Pakistan, but I still think that Pakistan was at least 20 runs short of where they should have been.
