Pakistan vs England: T20 records and Stats at the MCG, Melbourne

On Sunday, November 13, Pakistan will face England in the final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Pakistan has recovered well from a rough start to their World Cup campaign, overcoming New Zealand and South Africa to reach the final. Shadab Khan and Shaheen Afridi have both taken ten wickets, and their bowling attack has proven key. Meanwhile, England thrashed India in the semi-finals, delivering a warning to Pakistan. With the bat, Alex Hales and Jos Buttler put on a show, annihilating Indian bowlers. Although Hales’ form was troubling, the big hitter got through in the semis. England’s bowling has looked strong with Sam Curran and Chris Woakes among the wickets.
