The highly anticipated summit clash of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 will take place on a chilly Sunday night (November 13) in Melbourne. The winner of the match between England and Pakistan, two former World Cup champions, will join the West Indies on the elite list of nations to have won the biggest T20 silverware twice.

With four consecutive victories to their name, Pakistan are riding high on confidence. England, on the other hand, have benefitted from their in-form openers and a potent bowling unit which shone during their 10-wicket emphatic win over Team India, in the second semi-final on Thursday, November 10.

In the last T20 World Cup final, in 2021, reigning champions Australia trounced arch-rivals New Zealand by eight wickets at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai, UAE.

After bowling first, the Aussies restricted the Kiwis to 172/4 in the first innings. While Josh Hazlewood was influential in his spell of 3/16, Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson played a knock to remember, scoring a valiant 48-ball 85.

Chasing 173, Australia lost skipper Aaron Finch quite early. However, a match-changing partnership of 92 from just 60 balls between David Warner and Mitchell Marsh saw Australia take control of the game.

With his 50-ball 77*, Marsh eventually took his side over the line with seven balls remaining and also clinched the Man of the Match award.
