England T20 WC Champions: ‘Fantastic achievement’ – Cricketing fraternity lauds England, Stokes after T20 World Cup triumph -Check out
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, England slumped to 49-3 in the sixth over as they struggled to get any momentum against a fiery pace attack, with boundaries hard to come by. But 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, climaxing a riveting tournament that spanned 45 games over nearly a month.
England were the toast of the cricket fraternity with many extending their warm wishes to the double-world champions. The Three Lions are also the holders of the 50-over World Cup, having won the title in 2019. They will attempt a title defence when the tournament returns to India in 2023.
Here’s how the cricket fraternity including the likes of Sachin Tendulkar reacted on England’s T20 WC win
Congratulations England on winning your 2nd @T20WorldCup. 🏆
Fantastic achievement. 👏🏻It was a closely fought final and would’ve been even more interesting had Afridi not been injured.
