Beaten by Pakistan in 1992 World Cup Final,till then England never had made to ICC World Cup Final.But the curse ended on 16th May,2010,As England team reached the final of World T-20 lead by Paul CollingWood. And also went on to win the trophy by beating Australia convincingly in the final.
Ian Chappel said that "This is most confident England side i have ever seen." Kevin Peterson was in the form of his life during the T20 WC.KP, Eoin Morgan and Graham Swan were the main players of the team.They sailed their team through to the world cup trophy and their hunt for major ICC trophy ended after 35 years.
Though KP was in the form of his life and had played match winning innings for england in semis and finals, Eoin Morgan really made his mark in the team and impressed everyone with his innovative shots and his calmness under tense situations.He is the find of the tournament.He is the batsman to watch out for in the future.
England had tough situation during league round. As they lost their first match against west-indies.England batting first made 191 but because of rain west-indies got new target of 60 from 6 overs and they reached the total with ease.Then the second game against ire-land was washed out due to rain. So without winning any game in league stage,England with better runrate were through to super eight.
England then never looked back and reached to semis by winning all three matches in super 8s.In this run they first won against Pakistan(defending champions) followed by win against South Africa and New-Zealand.They then beat Srilanka to reach to Finals against Australia (their traditional rivals).
The final was very one sided as England chased down 148 runs with 18 balls to spare.Craig Keisswetter got the man of the match award and Kevin Pieterson was announced Man of the Series.It was double bonanaza for KP as he also become father during the series.
