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.
