PAK vs ENG Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of Melbourne Cricket Ground – ICC T20 World Cup 2022, Final

It will be a PAK vs ENG final in the T20 World Cup 2022 in Melbourne on November 13, Sunday. Pakistan defeated New Zealand to make the final on Wednesday. A day later, England romped over India to make it to their third final in T20 World Cup. Both teams are past winners of the tournament as well. Pakistan won in 2009 and England a year later in 2010.

This PAK vs ENG final reminds cricket fans of the 1992 50-over World Cup final which was also played at the MCG. Pakistan led by Imran Khan defeated England to win that game and the entire country is expecting Babar Azam and co to repeat history. Both teams have placed recently in a bilateral T20I series that England won. The two teams are well aware of their strengths and weaknesses.

For Pakistan, especially this tournament has been one to remember. After back to back defeats against India and Zimbabwe, the side was down and out. South Africa’s loss to the Netherlands meant that Pakistan had to win their match against Bangladesh to make the semis and they did it with some authority. They played New Zealand in the semis and won convincingly.

Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan who were quiet for the first half of the tournament found form in that came and notched up fifties with their team needing 153 runs to win. Their century stand laid the perfect platform as the team won with five balls to spare.

England also had a World Cup of its own. They came into this tournament as favorites but lost an early game against Ireland. That became one of the upsets of the tournament. Their match against Australia was rained out which worked in their favor. Back-to-back wins against New Zealand and Sri Lanka meant that they made the semis.

The India vs England semi-final was expected to be a closely fought contest but it did not happen that way. The England bowlers kept the Indian scoreboard in check. The Indian openers once again did not get a good start and Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli’s fifties meant that the Men in Blue scored a below-par 168.

Batting became easy under lights with the ball coming onto the bat a little bit better. Jos Buttler (80*) and Alex Hales (86*) notched up a 170-run stand to take their team over the line and to the final. None of the Indian bowlers were able to make an impact as England registered a 10-wicket win to knock India out of the tournament.
