Gutted for England. They should have won this tournament! Too good a team to mess it up!

Pakistan surprised many by making the knockouts, and then stunned favourites England in the semi-finals•Getty Images
So they were saying it would be 1 sided match & Eng will be through to the finals. They were partly right .#ENGvPAK #CT17

England blitzed in Cardiff. Pakistan outbowled them, outbatted them, outthought them. This will hurt England. Well played Pakistan! #CT17
