The MCG's playing field is a typical Australian playing field that provides bowlers with excellent pace and bounce. Since the track is still in good condition during the game, the team that wins the toss is likely to choose to bat first.
Digital Desk: The thrilling T20 World Cup championship match between Jos Buttler's England (ENG) and Babar Azam's Pakistan (PAK) will take place on November 13 at the storied Melbourne Cricket Ground. The two winners go to the title match after winning lopsided semifinal matches against New Zealand and India.
In their crucial match against India, England, one of the pre-tournament favourites for the ICC mega event, shifted into fifth gear. The Three Lions crushed the Asian team by ten wickets to advance directly to the championship game. While the bowlers have been incisive and cost-effective for the side, Alex Hales and Jos Buttler appear unstoppable at the top.
In the meantime, Pakistan, their opponents, will be eager to repeat the results of the 1992 World Cup final, when they defeated the same opposition at the same location as this year's championship match. Pakistan hasn't played perfectly throughout the competition; in fact, they were heavy underdogs to leave the competition early, only to pull a Pakistan and secure their spot in the finals.
On paper, England appears to be the favourite for the match, but Pakistan adds turmoil to the mix, something no other team can match.
