Melbourne: Ben Stokes emerged as the game winner for England in the finale of T20 World Cup 2022 as they beat Pakistan by 5 wickets. After choosing to bowl first, England has restricted Pakistan and 137 runs and later chased it with ease to win the Word Cup.

You forget all your hard work: Ben Stokes

After winning the World Cup, Ben Stokes said, “In finals especially when chasing.. you probably forget all the hard work before that, how we bowled, Adil Rashid and Sam Curran won us the game. It was a tricky wicket and one that you never felt in, so to restrict them to 130-odd bowlers have to take a lot of credit for that.”

Defeat to Ireland opened eyes: Stokes

“With that (defeat to Ireland) being so early in the competition we obviously had to address it, say what had to be said and then let it go. In tournaments like these you can’t carry baggage with you, that was a little blip on the way, credit to Ireland for turning up and beating us, but the best teams learn from their mistakes and not let it affect them. Pretty good evening. Representing your country in World Cups is amazing.. but it has been a good one.,” said Stokes after the game.
