England vs Pakistan स्कोरकार्ड, Final, ICC T20 World Cup 2022

England have won six of their last nine men’s T20Is against Pakistan including their last two on the bounce; in fact, they’ve won both of their two previous games against Pakistan at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2009 and 2010.

England will be looking to win the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final for the first time since 2010 (def. Australia by 7 wickets) while Pakistan will be looking to lift the trophy for the first time since 2009 (def. Sri Lanka by 8 wickets); the winner will become the second team (along with West Indies) to win two editions of the tournament.

Neither Pakistan nor England have ever won a men’s T20I fixture at the Melbourne Cricket Ground; Pakistan have lost their two previous games at the venue while England have lost all four of their completed games there.

Pakistan have won their last four men’s T20Is in a row away from home and a fifth straight win would equal their longest winning streak outside Pakistan since a nine-game stretch from July to November in 2018.

England have a 92% catch success rate since the Super 12 stage of the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the highest of any team at the tournament and 13 percentage points higher than Pakistan (79%); England have held on to 33 of their 36 catch attempts thus far.

Pakistan have conceded just 5.9 runs per over during the power play since the Super 12 stage of the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the second-lowest rate of any team, while only Australia (7.6) have conceded more runs per over than England (7.1) during this time.

Pakistan duo Mohammad Rizwan (58 from 11 innings) and Babar Azam (50.9 form 14 innings) have the highest batting averages of any players in men’s T20Is against England among those to have batted at least eight innings against; both players scored a half century in Pakistan semi-final win over New Zealand at the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan (2,479) and England’s Jos Buttler (2,468) have scored more runs as wicketkeepers in men’s T20Is than any other players; though, Buttler (607) is 46 shy of eclipsing Kumar Sangakkara (652) for the second-most of any keeper-captain.

Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan) has a batting dot ball rate of just 15% from his 39 balls faced against spin since the Super 12 stage of the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the lowest rate of any player at the tournament (min. 10 balls faced).

Alex Hales (England) has scored 185 runs in his last three T20I innings in Australia which his more than he had scored in all his 10 T20I innings in the country prior; he’ll be looking to log back-to-back scores of 50+ runs in the format for the first time after a knock of 86* in his last innings.
