England stormed to a seven-wicket victory over Australia on the Kensington Oval to win the ICC World Twenty20 closing on this present day in 2010.
The victory in Barbados noticed England break their 35-year trophy duck in Worldwide Cricket Council tournaments.
The convenience of England’s success within the closing made a mockery of earlier failures as Craig Kieswetter and Kevin Pietersen’s second-wicket stand of 111 helped them cruise previous Australia’s 147 for six with three full overs to spare.
Man of the match Kieswetter hit seven fours and a six in his 49-ball 63 and Pietersen (47 off 31) was nearly as dominant in a run chase that grew to become no contest lengthy earlier than captain Paul Collingwood clubbed the successful runs.
Australia, hitherto unbeaten within the event, stumbled disastrously to eight for 3 within the third over after being put in on a pacy pitch.
David Hussey (59) oversaw a well-crafted restoration. However England had taken a telling benefit, and have been in no temper to let it slip this time towards the previous enemy.
Collingwood stated: “It is a very particular second. The fellows deserve every little thing they’ve obtained right now.
“We’ve gained a World Cup, and you may by no means take that away from us. We totally deserve the victory, due to the best way we’ve performed all through the event.
“We’ve had a number of perception, and the fellows have thought very effectively for themselves and made the proper choices. In the long run, we’ve turned up on a giant event like this and we’ve carried out.”
