The stage was set for a great final between Pakistan and England at the MCG on 13 November 2022. The Men in Green came to this encounter by defeating the Kiwis in Sydney. On the other hand, England defeated the Men in Blue In Adelaide in the semi-final. So, fans were hoping to see a great end to this year’s 20-20 World Cup.

Speaking about the match, Jos Buttler won the toss and asked Pakistan to bat first. Meanwhile, both teams did not make changes in their lineup from their respective semi-final clashes. For the Men in Green, the skipper Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan came out to open the innings.
