Thirty years after losing the 50-over World Cup final to Pakistan at the MCG, England exacted sweet revenge on Pakistan with brilliant death bowling and a Stokes half-century that reeled in a modest victory target of 138.

Stokes turned out to be the outstanding performer for England in consecutive World Cup victories as he sealed his place in history with unbeaten half-centuries in both the finals.

England won their maidenODI World Cupin 2019 after having been runners up on three occasions in 1979, 1987 and 1992. The manner in which they became the ODI world champions became the huge talking point.

WHAT A WIN!
