England defeated Pakistan by five wickets in a low-scoring final where the losing side could only put a paltry 137/8 on the board on a surface that demanded a total beyond 160. Pakistan bowlers did put up a fight by taking five English wickets before Ben Stokes scored a half-century to dash Pakistan’s hopes of winning the title.

Following the loss, retired pacer Akhtar took to social media to post a heartbroken emoji to express his emotions. His post came two days after the ‘Rawalpindi Express’ said on his YouTube channel that Indian cricket is going through it’s lowest point while adding that Mohammad Shami’s inclusion in the team was pointless.

To rejig readers’ minds, Shami was earlier ignored for World Cup selection while the likes of Deepak Chahar and Umran Malik were named as standbys. However, pacer Jasprit Bumrah and Chahar were ruled out of the tournament before India left for Australia, opening the doors for Shami into the team.
