England were among the favourites to win the T20 World Cup in Australia and they justified that pre-tournament hype by beating Pakistan in the final.
After winning their group in the 2021 edition, England were knocked out with a five-wicket defeat by New Zealand in their semifinal in Abu Dhabi.
This time they went all the way though, beating Pakistan to lift the trophy at the iconic MCG.
The Sporting News has the details on England's results and how they managed to progress all the way to the showpiece at the MCG.
