Defending champions England beat Pakistan by 93 runs as both teams exited the tournament at the group stage.
The match between the two teams was played at Eden Gardens Cricket Stadium in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. While batting first, England set Pakistan a 338-run target.
Pakistan began proceedings knowing that they had the slimmest of chances of still reaching the semi-finals, requiring a win by an enormous margin to force a gargantuan swing on net run rate.
And the prospect of such a result soon vanished as England built towards a sizeable first-innings score.
Ben Stokes, whose future in the One Day International format is uncertain, smashed 84 from 76 balls to help spark England in their final game of the tournament, while Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root also hit half-centuries in the 337/9.
And, with the ball, England were right on the money right from the start, with David Willey starring on his final day in an England shirt.
It should be noted here that in the 40th match of the Cricket World Cup 2023 in India, defending champions England defeated the Netherlands by 160 runs.
