England beat Pakistan by five wickets in the final of the 2022 T20 World Cup in Melbourne on Sunday to clinch their second title, joining West Indies as the only other team with two T20 World Cup titles.
The 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia came to a conclusion on Sunday, with Jos Buttler’s England defeating Babar Azam-led Pakistan by five wickets in the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
It was England’s second T20 World Cup title, and their first title since 2010, and with that they joined West Indies with most number of titles (two).
While India were handed a semi-final exit against England, it was still a memorable tournament with the bat for Virat Kohli, who finished as the tournament’s highest run-getter with 296 runs.
Kohli registered four half-centuries this tournament, and by finishing as the tournament’s top-scorer, the former India skipper became the first player to top the batting charts on multiple editions of the T20 World Cup.
In the 2014 edition, Kohli had accumulated 319 runs from six matches.
Elsewhere, Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga ended up as the tournament’s top wicket-taker with 15 scalps, with the Player of the final and tournament Sam Curran behind the Sri Lankan with 13 wickets.
Curran had finished with figures of 3/12 against Pakistan in the final, while he also collected a five-wicket haul earlier in the tournament (5/10 vs Afghanistan).
