Sam Curran won both the player of the match and player of the tournament for his astonishing bowling performance in the final and throughout the tournament. Curran’s performance with ball was the real game changer for England. He grabbed 3 wickets in four overs and just gave 12 runs. He grabbed a total of 13 wickets in the tournament.
