England all-rounder Ben Stokes was quick to make his prediction for the finalists of ICC T20 World Cup 2021 after watching yesterday’s game between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Ben Stokes and T20 World Cup haven’t been the right story despite him making a heroic impact in the 2019 World cup win for England, and he will not be able to forget the four sixes he conceded in the last over in the 2016 T20 Worldcup finals against West Indies.

Stokes is on a mental break from the game as he opted out of the T20 World cup 2021 and has recently announced that he will be available for the Ashes, which is a great addition for England. Despite Stokes Absence, England has been able to put up some dominating performance in the T20 World Cup 2021 so far, and they will be hoping that they do not miss a world-class all-rounder like Ben Stokes.

Ben Stokes Votes For A England – Pakistan Final

Ben Stokes made a bold prediction on Twitter for the finalists of T20 World Cup 2021 to be England and Pakistan. This tweet had come sometime quickly after Pakistan registered their third successive win in the T20 World cup 2021 super 12 stages, and they have already shown a lot of potentials to go on and win the tournament.

“England vs Pakistan Final ???” Ben Stokes tweeted on Twitter, and both teams have been unbeaten so far in their T20 World cup campaign. They have looked better than the other sides in their group, and their balance in the team looks unassailable at the moment. It will be a surprise if these two teams do not make it to the semifinal stages.

Pakistan Pull Of A Crucial Victory Against Afghanistan

Pakistan did look like ending up on the losing side after the loss of Shoaib Malik’s wicket with 24 to get off  12 deliveries against Afghanistan. Asif Ali showed some of his brute power-hitting skills and hit four sixes in the penultimate over that won the game against Afghanistan comfortably at the end.

Pakistan will next face Namibia on Tuesday, and a victory against them will seal their place in the semifinals.
