Pakistan vs England Highlights: Ben Stokes shines as England beat Pakistan by 5 wickets to win T20 World Cup

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. In reply, Stokes (52 not out) and Moeen Ali (19) used their experience and cool heads to guide England to 138/5 with six balls to spare.

Curran strikes! Pakistan 29/1 after 5 overs

WHAT AN OVER! Sam Curran came up with an excellent over for the English side. The left-armer dismissed Mohammad Rizwan and gave away just a single in it. The momentum Pakistan gained in the previous over is all gone with it.

TIDY! Sam Curran came into the attack and also bowled a tidy one like Chris Woakes. The left-arm pacer gave away just four runs in it. No boundaries for Pakistan in the first three overs, and they need boundaries to change gears.

13:42 (IST) Nov 13

Pitch Report

"There are some nice dry grass areas on the surface. But there are green patches as well. It's very very hard. Want to use the short ball. It swung more in the poweplay here than in any other ground. The kind of bowlers we have today - Shaheen, Stokes, Woakes - stick to your strengths." - Ian Bishop

We would've also bowled first but the toss is not in our hands, so we will try to put runs on the board and put pressure on them. We have good momentum with us and will try to continue with it. We lost our first few games but have come back strongly and want to continue that in the final. A win always gives you confidence and with the way the team is playing we will give our 100 percent. Yes history repeats (referring to the 1992 World Cup), we will try to win this game and hold the cup. Same team.

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam

We are going to bowl first. Huge game, good nerves and there's a lot of good energy around the team. Great energy in the stadium and we are looking forward to a great game. Both teams come into this final in red hot form and we are looking forward to a tough challenge. I think it is a good wicket and hopefully it will stay the same throughout. Obviously there's a little bit of weather around which is why we chose to bowl. We start fresh today, we bring confidence from the other day but we know it counts for nothing today. Same team.
