Pakistan VS England Live Full HD T20 World Cup Final Match. 1:00 PM Pakistan Local Time
Overview
England and Pakistan followed pretty much the same trajectory on their way to the final. Both teams had little chance of securing a semi-final berth at one point, yet they went on a rampage towards the business end of the Super 12, and made it to the knockouts by finishing second in their respective groups. That wasn't the end to their similarities, though, as both sides registered comprehensive victories in the semi-finals to book their place in the final.

Although their paths leading to this finale have been pretty similar, it would be a mistake to think that they have followed and executed the same plans to chart their course. In fact, these are two teams with very different strengths and playing styles, and it's the contrast between them that will be exciting to watch in this highly anticipated final.
It's going to be a battle between England's batting line-up and Pakistan's bowling attack. Jos Buttler's men bat with a fearless approach, and why shouldn't they? They have players capable of wielding the willow right down to number 11.
Pakistan, on the other hand, depend on their dangerous bowling attack to dominate. They have bowlers capable of killing the game with the new ball, spinners capable of drying runs up in the middle overs and specialists capable of applying the choke in the death overs. In fact, their economy rate of 6.74 has been the best among all teams in this World Cup.
But the two teams have also responded really well in areas that were considered as their weaker suits.
England's bowling attack, which wasn't rated as highly as other teams, has stepped up really well to support their never-ending batting arsenal. Sam Curran has been a revelation with the ball, whereas Mark Wood has also proved that he is a world-class pacer.
