After 44 matches of the T20 World Cup 2022, the two best teams of the tournament – Pakistan, and England – will take on each other in the final on Sunday at the iconic MCG.

We take a look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form of Pakistan: W W W W L

Pakistan is always a dangerous team in World Cup events and they have once again proved their mettle. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are back among the runs and it is a huge positive for the team. Moreover, their middle order and the bowling unit have done a fine job.

England has ticked the right boxes and they were at their sublime best against India in the semi-final on Thursday.
