Actually that match was quite unpredictable. But England winning chances were already high before. Because the batting lineup of England was more stronger than Pakistan. And it was seen in this match, as Rizwan and Babar Azam were also dismissed with few runs, and that's why they couldn't score much runs and it become pressure for Pakistan.And the result is England has become champion .
you are right England was the favorite in this match to become champions. Because their batsmen were in great form throughout the World Cup. On the other hand, the performance of Pakistan's batsmen is erratic. And Pakistan's main strength is their bowling line-up. But in today's match too Pakistan lost due to weak batting. If Pakistan's two openers could have scored a pair of 50s and given a target of 160 in today's match, the result of this match would have been in favor of Pakistan. However, Pakistan's bowlers have done well today. However, they need more improvement in their batting line-up.Ben Stokes realized that there was no need to take any kind of risk because the target was not very big. And even though England lost a few wickets quite early, as far as I remember in six overs, they had already lost three wickets. That was certainly not ideal. But Ben Stokes kept batting responsibly. Obviously, we cannot say that Ben Stokes did it alone. But he was obviously the main man for England. And England also did very well to restrict Pakistan to a very low total.
Honestly, as soon as I saw the target given by Pakistan, I thought there was nowhere England is going to lose that match. But I think a lot of people still had hope because the bowling lineup of Pakistan is really good. But England showed again that they can take any bowling lineup on.
