- Pakistan scored 137/8 in 20 overs after England won the toss and asked Babar Azam and Co to bat first
- Adil Rashid bowled superbly to pick 2 wickets for 22 runs in four overs which included 1 maiden
- England bowled brilliantly in the death overs, ensuring Pakistan did not go past 150-run mark.
They were on the edge of an early knock out but they were helped tremendously by other results going in their favour. Like when Netherlands beat South Africa, their chances for the semi-finals came alive and Pakistan latched on to that opportunity with both the hands. After those two early blows, they brought back their campaign on track and never looked back.
England too, after winning their first match against Afghanistan, lost to Ireland in a rain-marred match. Then their game vs Australia was washed out. From thereon, every match that they played was a virtual knock out and that sort of pushed the English team to do well. They beat New Zealand and Sri Lanka next to ensure they reached the semi-finals where they absolutely thrashed the Indian cricket team, inflicting a 10-wicket loss at them to set up a mouth-watering encounter against Pakistan in the big final.
