The 2022 T20 World Cup Final will occur on Sunday night at the Melbourne Cricket Ground between Pakistan and England. Both teams easily defeated their opponents in the semifinal games. In Sydney, Pakistan defeated New Zealand by seven wickets, and in Adelaide, England defeated India by ten wickets. Melbourne kicks off the game at 19:00 local time.
In defeating New Zealand in the semifinals, Pakistan was outstanding and gained a lot of momentum due to recent victories. They are talented on both sides and won’t be intimidated by England.
One of the best batting performances in an IT20 match came from England’s openers against India. With a strong history against Pakistan, England will be confident going into this match.

PAK vs ENG Match Toss Prediction
In night games at this location, it is thought to be advantageous to bowl first. The batters should also benefit from the good batting surface in the second inning. Pakistan prefers to chase, and it is obvious that both teams would be eager to bowl first after England’s previous successful chase.
PAK vs ENG Pitch Report
At the MCG, a pitch with a good balance is available. Both hitters and bowlers will benefit from the pace and bounce. Spinners shouldn’t anticipate any assistance from this pitch, though.
Pakistan Team News & Probable Playing XIs
We do not anticipate any changes to the starting XI before this match because Babar Azam has played with the same team in the last two games. The Pakistani team is injury-free thanks to Shaheen Shah Afridi, who is now fully fit.

England Team News & Probable Playing XIs
Dawid Malan’s injury prevented him from playing in the semi-final, as anticipated, and it is extremely doubtful that he will play in the championship game. Although Mark Wood, England’s fastest bowler, missed the game against India as well, he is anticipated to be risked in this match.

Pakistan is the favourite to win this match.
The 2022 T20 World Cup ends with this final after an outstanding tournament full of surprises and thrilling matches. England’s performance against a formidable India team on Thursday was awe-inspiring, but they will need their openers to have a similar batting display in this game. In general, we believe that Pakistan’s bowlers will pose difficulties for England’s hitters, and we are backing Pakistan to win the match as well as the tournament.
