A combined bowling display led by an outstanding Sam Curran who took 3/12 during a spell wherein he didn’t concede a single boundary to restrict Pakistan to 137/8 in 20 overs. Pakistan were never allowed to take control as England bowled well. Adl Rashid took 2/22 while Chris Jordan finished with 2/27. England need 138 to win the world cup.
Earlier, Jos Buttler, the England captain, won the toss and opted to bowl first at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Both the teams have kept faith in their respective playing XIs that got them into the final. Though Buttler expects the wicket to remain the same throughout the contest, his decision to bowl first was also impacted by inclement weather conditions. Babar Azam said he would’ve bowled first too but says Pakistan are high on confidence and will hope to carry the winning momentum.
Pakistan and England will be aiming to become just the second team in the history to have won multiple T20 World titles when they lock horns at the Melbourne Cricket Ground today. West Indies remain the only team to have won the title twice and now will be joined in the club by either England or Pakistan ( with weather permitting). Pakistan are playing in their third final as are England. Both have lost twice, emerged victorious once and have a chance to create history of their own. Pakistan will be the first Asian team to win two T20 world titles while England would be targeting to become the first ever team to hold both the t20 and ODI world titles at the same time, thereby establishing their supremacy as a white-ball powerhouse.
Both the teams will be a little relieved and a bit surprised to have come this far – Pakistan more than England. At the Super 12 stage, England were left to rue their luck when rain threatened to send them packing home after affecting a couple of their games. A must-win situation against Sri Lanka arose and they aced the challenge before producing a super show in the semis against India and storm into the final. Before the final day of the Super 12 round, it looked nigh impossible for Pakistan to make it to the semis unless a fortuitous turn of events. It happened. South Africa lost to the Netherlands giving Pakistan a glimmer and then Babar Azam’s men edged past Bangladesh before a well-crafted chase against New Zealand gave them the ticket for the summit clash.
