PAK vs ENG Final Probable winners:

The opening batters on both sides produced half-centuries in their semi-final victories and getting early wickets will be key for both bowling attacks. Pakistan have more pace which could be crucial at the MCG. After an incredible 2022 T20 World Cup full of shocks and brilliant contests, the tournament concludes with this final. England were very impressive against a strong India side on Thursday but they will need their openers to produce a similar batting performance in this game. Overall, we think that Pakistan’s bowlers will cause England’s batters problems and are backing Pakistan to win the game and the tournament. Considering the team combination, England is expected to win this match.
