Playing the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Pakistan were restricted at 137/8 in their quota of 20 overs after being put in to bat first.
Jos Buttler-led England would chase down the total in 19 overs with five wickets in hand to clinch their second T20 World title and become the first team to hold the T20 and ODI World title.
