T20 World Cup 2022 Awards List: Player Of The Tournament, Highest Run-Scorer, And What You Need To Know. The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup has finally ended. The current 50-over champions England defeated Pakistan in a nail-biting final game. Chasing a small target of 138 runs, the English team almost faltered after the 10th over, where suddenly runs dried in.
It seemed as if Pakistan will repeat the history of 1992. But, the injury to Shaheen-Shah Afridi in the 16th over, meant that Pakistan was one bowler short. Iftikhar leaked runs in the next 4 balls, giving England the momentum. The winning shot came from Ben Stokes in the final ball of the 19th over, giving England 5 wicket victory.
Pakistan had a miraculous entry into the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 when the Netherlands defeated South Africa. They sailed through the semi-final match against New Zealand with a convincing victory. But, the final trophy alluded to them this time.
