So the three best teams in the tournament don't even make up one final spot between them.

(India*, Pakistan and England).

*Could argue NZ are a better side than India, but they were pre-tournament favs which not many disagreed with.

Unlucky Pakistan. Just like England they were thoroughly professional until the final 4 or so overs.

Well played Pak but Australia are mentality monsters. Can never write them off.

Both the semis were very similar. The less favoured team got to chase and that negated any real difference between the teams. I think it’s easy to criticise the death bowling but in modern cricket it’s just very hard to defend 10-12 an over at the end. Both Pakistan & England would probably have won if they had taken a wicket in the 16-17 over

If one man can lose a game on his own it has to be Hassan. To be fair, he has been the weak link all tournament.
