ICC T20 World Cup 2022 | Pakistan v England | Final | MCG | 13 Nov | Pakistan innings

[Farabi]

MCG is a balanced venue. No advantage to toss really. On a typical MCG surface, Pakistan should scoore around 170(considering england's batting strength) to be favourites

Not in this season. Did you see the swing on offer when Pak batted vs India. The weather plays a role with rain, and it’s also a fresh pitch

 

[Kianig89]

King Babar is the key he needs to play an innings tonight

 

[castortroy]

Advantage England now with the toss

 

[Rana]

Babar and Rizwan are very poor in the powerplay when batting first, so the middle order has to step up. The ceiling is probably again 160 like the India game. I'd take 160 here. All will depend on how Pakistan play Rashid and Curran. Curran has been amazingly tough for Pakistan batters to get away.

Tension nahi leni bro they will score 50+

 

[chinaman00]

Excellent idea to have a cheesy concert and delay the game while rain clouds are hovering above.

Genius ICC.

 

[daytrader]

What's the point of an earlier toss if you're not gonna start early ��

 

[Kianig89]

English bowlers will swing it early on just giving me shivers of Lords 99

 

[castortroy]

England innings will be reduced over which will suit their explosive batting line up

 

[shamaan]

Curran will be the danger if thiers swing.

 

[Kianig89]

Hopefully Hayden effect will work tonight just get under the skin of Poms ylor

 

[Rana]

Tata tea gold

Did I just witness a fully Urdu/Hindi ad on Sky Sports without subtitles?

 

[Inswing]

So it will be 1992 show or 1999?

 

[Jonty]

When we lost the toss I had this feeling we’ve already lost the match. Need to snap out of this. We won’t let the toss dictate the winner!!

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan must not try to copycat Eng and adopt gung-ho approach just play our own way

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Curran will be the danger if thiers swing.

Of course at MCG with fresh pitch and overcast conditions there will be swing

 

[boomboomcheema]

1992 or 1999 ? Chance of 1999 more..

 

[Inswing]

Same was said in CT 2017 that we are batting first, we cant win now as India will chase anything down etc.

 

[Kianig89]

Once we get a decent score our bowlers have the ability to make a match of it

 

[enigmatic_stani]

People need not slit their wrists if the start is slightly tentative.

Thought so!!

 

[Kianig89]

Runs on the board are always handy:clarke

 

[Sherazkhalid]

When we lost the toss I had this feeling we’ve already lost the match. Need to snap out of this. We won’t let the toss dictate the winner!!

Yeah I am thinking the same, was really betting on Afridi two wickets in PP to put England on backfoot. Let's hope the game is not over in PP itself.

 

[Robert]

I forgot this is on today.

 

[Kianig89]

Bowl will swing early on so play sensibly

 

[SpiritOf1903]

It was almost the same in Semi...just enjoy!

 

[emranabbas]

I hope we see a miracle and see harris open

 

[Major]

Asif Ali doing panga with malan

 

[Kianig89]

Dilly Rash will also have a big say in this game hopefully he'll be tonked

 

[Sherazkhalid]

It's amazing Cricket is not the top sports in England and Australia yet they are the oldest of the teams and currently very powerful teams.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan needs this kopal more than Eng

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Not in this season. Did you see the swing on offer when Pak batted vs India. The weather plays a role with rain, and it’s also a fresh pitch

It doesnt matter that match. If there's no swing, bowlers will hit hard lengths and with the bounce on offer and the deep square boundaries, it is tough to score anyway .

It's the slowest of all the pitches but has good bounce

 

[m.shah]

Crucial toss won by England

 

[PakPremi]

I hope we see a miracle and see harris open

No thanks bowl be swinging early on, hopefully our openers wull survive first three overs.

 

[Kianig89]

Amir has eaten detergent )

 

[emranabbas]

Australian cup??

 

[Kianig89]

Go Green Go!!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Bowl will swing early on so play sensibly

Yep and I hope dancing Rizwan stays put

 

[Major]

i like the speech by the old indigenous lady

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Rashid "Astaghfirullah" :

 

[Kianig89]

Buttler is a very Shrewd captain unlike the predecessors Stewart Hussain Hollioake Flintoff

 

[m.shah]

Hopefully weather will be good for the match

 

[Kianig89]

Can we emulate Mcg 92

 

[PakPremi]

Woakes early on and Curran anytime will be bowlers to watch out for.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I hope our pace battery has something to work with. I don't even know what be a good score

 

[Badboy_1]

Yep and I hope dancing Rizwan stays put

Today Rizwan will get Qudrat ka Nizam

 

[shamaan]

[SpiritOf1903]

Damn it's been 13 years, still remember the 2009 final, Amir getting Dislshan out first over.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

What we need here boys 160 or 180

165+

 

[Kianig89]

4 kuls and ayatulkursi to start with

 

[Rana]

I would smash the living daylights out of Stokes if I had the chance

 

[JibranAnsari]

Very tricky for pakistan , they will want to score quick anticipating a shortened match.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

What happens if Pakistan get out within 10 overs?

Then we all save 2 hours of our life. Sadness ensures but 2 hour saved.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]
