Jos Buttler's England will square off against Babar Azam's Pakistan in the show-stopping finale of the ongoing T20 World Cup at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground on November 13. The two finalists head into the titular clash after defeating New Zealand and India in one-sided contests in the semis.

One of the pre-tournament favourites for the ICC mega event, England switched to fifth gear in their crunch clash against India. The Three Lions pounded the Asian outfit by ten wickets to storm into the final. Alex Hales and Jos Buttler look indomitable at the top, while the bowlers have been penetrative and economical for the team.

Meanwhile, their opponents, Pakistan, will be keen to repeat the history of the 1992 World Cup final, when they defeated the same opposition at the very same venue of this year's finale. Pakistan have not been perfect in the tournament, in fact, they were odds-on favorites for an early exit, only to do a Pakistan and book their place in the final.

England, on paper, look like favourites for the tie, but Pakistan brings something else into the equation, something no other team manages to conjure-chaos.

Pitch Report:

The surface at the MCG is a typical Australian surface that offers great pace and bounce for the bowlers. The team winning the toss would be inclined to bat first at the venue as the track remains intact through the match. Spinners will have to show great discipline or risk being dispatched for runs at this venue. A score around 175 could prove to be a winning total at this venue.

Probable Top Performers from PAK vs ENG

Probable best batter: Alex Hales

Alex Hales's career has taken a turnaround worthy of applause. The tall opening batter was not even in the fray for this year's tournament. But he has been England's best player in the tournament and arguably the player of the tournament with the impact he has had in England's run through to the final. His destruction of the Indian bowlers is a testament to his abilities in the shortest format of the game.

Probable best bowler: Shaheen Afridi

Shaheen Afridi looked sluggish in his first two outings of the tournament after making a return from a lengthy injury layoff. But the pacer found his groove in the following fixtures, scalping ten wickets in four games to guide Pakistan to the final. His exploits with the new ball will be key for the Men in Green in the titular clash against England.
