England signed off a disappointing Cricket World Cup title defence on a high by securing a convincing 93-run victory over Pakistan in Kolkata.
Ben Stokes top-scored with 84 and Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow fired half-centuries as England, who elected to bat first after winning the toss, posted 337-9 from their 50 overs. Pakistan made a nightmare start to their run chase when David Willey - making his final ODI appearance - removed both openers inside the first three overs, while Gus Atkinson dismissed captain Babar Azam before England's spinners took control.
Victory for England takes them to six points and guarantees them the top-eight finish required to qualify for the next edition of the Champions Trophy in 2025, while Pakistan's defeat mathematically ended their slim hopes of reaching the World Cup semi-finals.
