Ben Stokes and Sam Curran starred as England edged Pakistan by five wickets to win the Twenty20 World Cup on Sunday and become the sport's first dual white-ball champions, holding both the 50 and 20-over titles. Jos Buttler's side held Pakistan to 137/8 in front of a partisan 80,462 fans at a heaving Melbourne Cricket Ground, with player-of-the-match Curran bagging 3-12 and Adil Rashid chipping with 2-22.

Poll

Can Pakistan defend the low 138-run target?

YesNo

15:20 (IST) Nov 13

I am trying to do my bit. It all matters till the team is doing good. You assess the pitch and bowl accordingly. I tried to bowl slower as they like pace and bowling slow is my strength. There will be lots of twos with the big boundaries. I think when we first came here, we would have been very happy with 137.
