  England on the other hand will believe in the more history between these two teams. Prior to the World Cup, England and Pakistan square off in a seven-match T20I series, which the Three Lions won on Pakistani soil. They also have a much better head-to-head record against the Men in Green.

  Pakistan will draw parallels to the 1992 World Cup final in Melbourne, wherein they defeated England in the final to win their maiden ODI World Cup. Babar Azam's men will be hoping to take inspiration from that triumph.

  Pakistan may have only just survived elimination and reached the final, but certainly, they will be the team to beat because Babar Azam and Co have momentum within their stead. England have also won back-to-back games against Sri Lanka, and India, but from being written off after their loss to Zimbabwe, the Men in Green have shown immense determination and character.

  LIVE| PAK vs ENG T20 World Cup Final latest updates: Will rain play spoisport in Melbourne?

  After some days of sunshine in this World Cup, we're back to how it all started in the Super 12s. The met department has forecast a soggy weekend ahead in Melbourne with probability of rain as high as 90% at match start time. There is a reserve day allocated for Monday but rain will remain a factor even then. The MCG pitch has offered good bounce and carry but the average first-innings score of 167 this tournament is the second highest among venues in this tournament.
