England has successfully defended their T20 World Cup title with a 2-0 series victory over Pakistan. Their final match at The Oval was dominated, as they easily chased down Pakistan’s total of 157 with just 27 balls to spare. The opening stand of Phil Salt and Jos Buttler set the tone for the win, with Harry Brook and Jonny Bairstow contributing to the successful chase.
The series, which saw two matches washed out, served as important preparation for both teams ahead of the upcoming World Cup. The tournament is taking place in the United States and the Caribbean and will begin on Saturday with England’s first match against Scotland in Barbados on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Pakistan will play for the first time on June 6 against the U.S.
England’s strong performance against Pakistan bodes well as they look to make a solid defense of their World Cup title. The team’s form and teamwork will be crucial as they aim to secure another championship victory in the upcoming tournament. With this victory under their belts, England is ready to take on any challenge that comes their way in the upcoming tournament.
