2022 England blew India away, while 1992 England fluked past SA due to Duckbill Platypus.

2022 England have an express while 1992 England had a bunch of medium pacers.

2022 England have a leggie while 1992 England had a bland SLA.

 

[Sarwar89]

1992 England had Goochy, the only player to play in 3 World cup finals in history and lost all of them 1979 1987 and 1992


2022 Buttler is already a world cup winner.

No monkey off the back thing on this english team.

 

[Cric1234]

Bumble doesn’t need to worry England will thrash Pakistan unless curators make a bowling friendly wicket I’m not even remotely hopeful of a win if par score is anything above 170.

Both the finals at MCG

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Both the finals at MCG

Year ends in 2

 

[Firebat]

Both tournaments have had an Adelaide Oval miracle to help Pakistan qualify.

In 1992, England game was rained off after being bowled out for 74. In 2022, Netherlands beat SA. Both at the same ground.

I vividly recall the game that Pakistan was all out in 74 runs against England and eventually got drawn due to rain. What a comeback it was after that match!

 

[MenInG]

Think a lot of cricketers/commentators from the 1992 era including Ian Botham will be looking for revenge!

 

[Saj]

Deep down England will be worried about Pakistan and how they are on a roll at the moment.

Pakistan has got better and better with each match and England know that in Shaheen Shah Afridi they have a bowler who could turn the match in the first over.

 

[James]

England are the stronger side and would beat Pakistan in a T20I 6 or 7 times out of 10 (imo), but none of this matters in a Final. Pakistan are a big match team and tournament specialists. This match is too close to call.

 

[James]

Btw… get Bumble back on the telly

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Btw… get Bumble back on the telly

Agreed. Cancel culture and ageism is rife. He was a buffoon but utterly hilarious. Missed him big time this summer

 

[PakLFC]

Pak will win it, insha Allah. Bumble ke moo mein ghee shakar

The recent T20 series in Pak was won 4-3 by England. That is not winning 6/7 times out of ten.
