PAK vs ENG

PAK vs ENG: On November 10, 2022, the final of the ICC Twenty20 World Cup will take place in Melbourne, where England and Pakistan will compete against each other. In many respects, the final between Pakistan and England will be a rerun of the World Cup final that took place in 1992.

Both of these teams have previously won the Twenty20 World Cup. Pakistan was the champion in 2009, and England was victorious in 2010. While England is competing in their first final since the T20 World Cup in 2016, Pakistan is making their return to the finals after a 13-year absence.

PAK VS ENG: Overview

Pakistan

In the semifinal matchup with New Zealand, Pakistan was outstanding. That Sydney match nearly took place in subcontinental weather. The spinners were receiving assistance, there was almost no swing available, and there was no additional bounce to worry about. In Melbourne, that won’t be the case.

Pakistan suffered defeats in Melbourne to India and Perth to Zimbabwe. Both locations have had a lot of bounce and tempo. According to data, Pakistani batsmen are among the weakest at scoring off short-pitched bowling and defending their wickets.

The arrival of Mohammad Haris and the return to form of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan appear to have revived the team. However, we believe that Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed are the two batters most likely to have the skills necessary to win this match against England. Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz, two Pakistani all-rounders, would have trouble if there is a lot of pace and bounce available.

However, Pakistan’s bowling lineup is so strong that it can easily enable the side to defend even par totals. After going without a wicket in his first two games, Shaheen Afridi currently has 10 in the competition. Naseem Shah, Mohammad Wasim Jr., and Haris Rauf make together what is perhaps the finest pace bowling lineup in the competition.

The most effective spinner on display in terms of wickets and economy rate is Shadab Khan. For this reason, regardless matter the circumstances, Pakistan cannot be written off in any game.

England

In the meantime, England thrashed India in the semi-final match that was played in Adelaide. With their performance, England was able to send a message of sorts to Pakistan. Both Alex Hales and Jos Buttler put on a show for the spectators with their exceptional batting abilities, totally annihilating the Indian bowling attack in the process.

The heavy hitter came through for them when it mattered most in the semifinals, despite the fact that there was some cause for concern regarding Hale’s form. The fact that Sam Curran and Woakes have been picking up wickets for England has contributed to the impression that their bowling is successful.

The question of whether or not Mark Wood will compete in the championship bouts will be resolved at some point. Even if England has played some good cricket, the Pakistani team is still a danger because of the fact that they play in an unpredictable manner.

PAK vs ENG: Pitch Prediction

There is sufficient time to get the wicket ready. We anticipate a stunning performance at bat. The batters have an advantage due to the narrow boundaries, which also work in their favor. We anticipate that a score somewhere in the range of 170–180 will be typical for this encounter.

PAK vs ENG: Weather Prediction

The weather in Melbourne is currently moist, and the rain has started falling again. In addition, there is a chance of rain on the day of the match. Although there is a backup day planned for the match, we are keeping our fingers crossed that we will be able to see a competitive matchup between two very strong teams.
