- Stokes’ struggle with the bat:
Ben Stokes came into this match after smashing Australia all over the park. But in this match, he looked completely different. He was struggling to middle the ball and rotate the strike. He played 64 balls for his 34 and failed to hit a single boundary. That shows how much the extent to which he tortured himself in the middle. Credits must be given to the Pakistani bowlers for making it extremely difficult for him. It was a big turning point in the match as at the 30 over mark England looked like getting somewhere around 260 but ended up getting only 211 which made it very easy for Pakistani batsman.
