    So powerful
    Better chasing than trying to defend a total - as last two T20 WCs have shown
    A bad over with the ball can cost you. The batting however just keeps coming hard all the way down so no total will be beyond them. But conditions may have a bearing.

    England and Pakistan know each other very well now and the recent 7 match series was 4-3 England so maybe Pakistan are due the win, I seem to recall although the final series score was tight both sides won a couple of the games by quite big margins which is one of the joys of T20.

    Well done Italy, beating the Aussies in the rugby game today,
    Dunno what state the latter are currently in or the
    strength of the team today, but credit where credit is due.

    Haven't seen any headlines about the women's rugby

    So, safe to assume New Zealand won the final, then...?

    Batsmen need to match the bowlers though...and not a great start.

    So hard to call the England player of the tournament, everyone chipped in at some time when called for subs included

    Stokes is an amazing big game player, his temperment when the pressure is on in the biggest moments is up there with any sportsman I can recall. Fantastic that he hit the winning runs, redemption for that final oval v the windies in 2016.
