After weeks of intense cricketing action, Pakistan and England have emerged as the two sides, which would go up against each other in the final of the T20 World Cup 2022. If someone would have told Pakistan on October 27 after their defeat to Zimbabwe, that they would be out in Melbourne, competing for the title in the final, very few would have believed them. And yet, here they are as they aim to recapture the title for the first time since 2009. Their opponents, England will also be playing in their second T20 World Cup final after a shaky Super 12 campaign. Pakistan vs England, T20 World Cup 2022 Final, Melbourne Weather Report: Check Out the Rain Forecast and Pitch Report at MCG

Both England and Pakistan won their semifinal contests in a somewhat similar manner. While Pakistan blazed past New Zealand despite some late hiccups, England steamrolled title favourites India and stormed into the final. The manner in which England beat India will be a statement that Pakistan would take keen notice of. The two sides had earlier met in a seven-match T20I series this year in Pakistan where the Green Shirts had lost to England.
