Talking about the T20 World Cup final between England and Pakistan, all-rounder Sam Curran bagged 3 wickets and leaked 12 runs in the summit clash at the MCG. Match-winner Curran was also named the Player of the Tournament. "I don't think I should be getting this, I think the way Ben Stokes played there, to get a fifty in a final and he does it so many times for us, he should get this (PoTM.). We are going to enjoy this occasion and it is very special. Big square boundaries, so I knew my into the wicket type bowling would work and try to make them hit square of the wicket. We felt the wicket was not as good as we thought it would be," Curran said.
