Thirty years after losing the 50-over World Cup final to Pakistan at the MCG, England turned the tables on the south Asians with brilliant death bowling and with Stokes finishing on 52 not out in a chase of 138 for victory.
All-rounder Sam Curran was player-of-the-match after finishing with miserly figures of 3-12 as Pakistan collapsed late to finish on 137 for eight, having been sent in to bat by England captain Jos Buttler."Very special but I don't think I should be getting this, I think the way Stokesy played there -- to get a 50 in the final, he does it so many times for us," said Curran.
He returned to bowl one dot ball but could not go on, and it proved a turning point as Stokes and Moeen Ali pushed England well ahead of the required run-rate in an attack on the bowlers. Rashid struck with his first ball when Mohammad Haris slogged for the long-on fence but was caught by Stokes.Stokes had Iftikhar Ahmed caught behind for a duck, leaving Pakistan in trouble at 85 for four.
