Shoaib Akhtar's response goes viral

Within minutes, the tweet went viral. Then, Akhtar replied to the tweet as well. “And this is what you call a sensible tweet” Akhtar tweeted the following message along with a picture of Indian cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle: "Credit to Pakistan. Few teams would have defended 137 the way they did. Best bowling team." Akhtar's response also went viral.

England won the highly-anticipated finale

Talking about the match, Ben Stokes and Sam Curran shone as England defeated Pakistan by a margin of five wickets to win the titles, making them the first team in the history of the sport to hold both crowns. (50-over world cup and 20-over world cup)

Jos Buttler's team restricted Pakistan to 137/8. Player of the match and tournament Curran took three wickets, and Adil Rashid added two more. As they failed to establish any momentum against a ferocious pace attack and found it difficult to hit boundaries, England's reply saw them fall to 49-3 in the sixth over.

However, Stokes (52 not out) and Moeen Ali (19) utilised their skills and cool composure to lead England to 138-5 with six balls remaining, finishing off an exciting tournament that lasted 45 games over almost a month.
