PAK vs ENG Live Score T20 World Cup 2022 Live Streaming, Live Telecast- Pakistan vs England Live Score: ICC T20 World Cup 2022. After 42  league matches and 2 semi-finals, we are left with 2 teams, Pakistan and England who will be locking horns in the finals of the T20 World Cup at the MGC, Melbourne.

Road to the finals (Pakistan):

Pakistan have been unpredictable in the ICC T20 World Cup. After losing the first two matches closely to India and Zimbabwe, there was too less a chance of a person thinking of them being in the finals.

The men in green defeated the Netherlands and South Africa comprehensively. But South Africa’s loss to the Dutch unit on the last league match day gave them an opportunity to make it through to the semi-finals. Pakistan steamrolled Bangladesh in their final league match to become the fourth team in the semi-final.

Once you sniff a team like Pakistan, they can be very dangerous. Pakistan restricted New Zealand to 152/4 in their allotted 20 overs. When it was needed the most, the out-of-form Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan came good and led their team to victory. Pakistan’s lineup looked settled and they will probably go unchanged into the Finals.

Road to the finals (England):

England started off brilliantly, beating Afghanistan in their first group game. But then they faced a humiliating defeat at the hands of Irelan in a rain-affected game. The nightmare continued for them at MCG, as rain played spoilsport in their next game against rivals, Australia, and ended up sharing points. Since their net run rate was better than the rest of the teams- Australia, and Sri Lanka, the English just needed to win their remaining two matches against New Zealand and Sri Lanka, which they did in style to make it to the semis.

Alex Hales and Jos Buttler came out all guns blazing to hand an embarrassing defeat to India and they won the semifinal by 10 wickets with four overs remaining, qualifying for the finals with Pakistan. Mark Wood was seen warming up with his full gas on and looks like he will make a comeback in the playing XI, he will probably replace either Jordan or Woakes.

Given that Jordan had a good game against India, it will be Wokes who is likely to make way. Malan was seen having a net session and salt was warming the bench in the chase against India, it will be interesting to see who England prefers to bat at number 3.

PAK v ENG: Pitch Report

The pitch is expected to provide decent support to both the batters and the bowlers. Bowlers will look to take advantage of the large square boundaries. The spinner will play an important role in the middle overs. The team winning the toss might look to bowl first and chase down the target under lights, in the second innings.
