In a recent match against Nepal, Curran showcased his skills by defending 10 runs in the final over, restricting Nepal to just five runs despite the intense pressure from a pro-Nepal crowd at the Wankhede Stadium. Curran stated, "I told Brookie: 'I'm aiming for six yorkers here, and I’ll take the blame if I don’t pull it off.'" His efforts were echoed by captain Harry Brook, who called Curran "unbelievable" and emphasized his calm demeanor under pressure. Curran's heroics continued against Italy, where he bowled a masterful 19th over, dismissing the dangerous Grant Stewart and helping secure a 24-run victory, which was crucial for England's advancement in the tournament.
