T20 World Cup Final: The Pakistan Team obtained an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup semi-final spot on a dramatic last day of the Super 12 stage, with a near-perfect win over New Zealand. Unfortunately, there would be no more miracles in the Final against England.
Ben Stokes and bowler Sam Curran starred as England bounced Pakistan out of the match to win the Twenty20 World Cup Final on Sunday and became the cricket’s first double white-ball winners, having both the 50- and 20-over titles.AHH! poor pakistan.
Most runs – Mohammad Rizwan and Shan Masood (175)
Most wickets – Shaheen Afridi and Shadab Khan (11)
England captain Jos Buttler’s side held Pakistan to 137-8 in front of a partisan 80,462 fans at a heaving MCG stadium before Ben Stokes’s unbeaten 52 guided them to a 5-wicket win with one over remaining.
Although the men in green fell short during the first innings, they nearly made the match with magnificent bowling. Pakistan pacemakers, led by Shaheen and Haris Rauf, did an exceptional job of maintaining their team in the hunt despite just 137 to defend.
Nevertheless, untimely damage to star pacer Shaheen Afridi a ball into the 16th over of the match, propelled Babar Azam to turn to part-timer Iftikhar.

What went right
Pakistan was just one polished performance away from clinching an outstanding ICC Men’s T20 World Cup2022 championship after overcoming two final-ball defeats to win their next four games.
That hot streak and rise into the Final were made on a full-pace attack led by Shaheen Afridi, who enhanced as the tournament advanced after healing from a knee injury.
A fired-up Afridi was a roaring threat with the new ball. At the same time, Mohammad Wasim and Haris Rauf assured there was little respite for opponent batters, and both took eight wickets.

All-rounder Shadab Khan was one the leading spinners of the tournament while also contributing 98 runs to the end as the fifth-highest scorer for Pakistan. Shan Masood was at his finest when Pakistan had their backs to the wall, top-scoring in their defeats to India, Zimbabwe, and England. At the same time, skipper Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan stepped up in the semi-final with a 100 partnership.
What went wrong
The Pakistan team could reliably turn to Shaheen Afridi when the stakes and pressure were at their highest, and the 22-year-old delivered with a wicket in the beginning over of both the semi-final and Final.
When the game was on the line against England in the 16th over of the Final, Pakistan’s primary weapon was unfit to bowl – let alone strike – due to a knee injury he got when catching Harry Brook in the outfield.
England required 41 runs off 29 balls when Afridi stepped off the field and could mostly cruise to the target as Pakistan missed their pace spearhead.

The tournaments runners-up did slightly wrong in their beginning defeat to India as Virat Kohli ran rampant, but would rue a stuttering chase that revealed an occasionally weak batting line-up as they fell one run short against Zimbabwe.
It carried until the semi-final for star openers Babar and Rizwan to create their mark on the tournament. However, both fought hard in tricky situations in the Final.

Here’s what fans in Pakistan, from politicians to analysts, had to say about Pakistan’s team:
Pakistans Future?
With Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Wasim, and Naseem Shah all under 23, Pakistan has a pace attack to make around.
Mohammad Haris also revealed glances of his skill after being a shock addition when the man in green had no margin for error in their last four matches, including the Final.
With youth coming through and Babar and Rizwan not mainly keeping their usual impact on this tournament, Pakistan should hold high hopes that they can go one stage further next time.

Spot on with this write-up, I actually suppose this web site wants way more consideration. I抣l most likely be again to read far more, thanks for that info.
Thanks for the new stuff you have revealed in your article. One thing I want to discuss is that FSBO interactions are built over time. By bringing out yourself to the owners the first saturday their FSBO is definitely announced, ahead of masses start calling on Wednesday, you create a good association. By sending them instruments, educational resources, free accounts, and forms, you become the ally. If you take a personal affinity for them and their circumstances, you make a solid interconnection that, on many occasions, pays off in the event the owners opt with an adviser they know and also trust – preferably you actually.
