England vs Pakistan Pitch Report

The Melbourne Cricket Ground has given us some games to remember in this world cup. There has been some movement with the ball when the conditions are overcast and the pacers have got the advantage. However, the pitches in most of the venues of the world cup have slowed down than usual. The weather forecast for the game is not encouraging as there is a chance of rainfall. However, unlike the group stages we do have a reserve day for the final. The overcast conditions can help the pacers to get some movement off the pitch. The par score is expected to be around 160-170 runs.

Last result at the venue

India (186/5 in 20 overs) beat Zimbabwe (115 in 17.2 overs) by 71 runs.

Who will win England vs Pakistan today match?

It will be interesting to see how the explosive opening pair of Butler and Hales counter the express pace of Shaheen, Naseem and Harris during the powerplay.
England won the recently held series against Pakistan, 4-3, but past results do not mean anything.
England have faced Pakistan in 28 T20I matches, Engalnd have won 18 whereas Pakistan have come out victorious on 9 occasions. One game did not give any result.

Considering form, head to head record and morale of both sides, England have the edge over Pakistan as per records. However, it is a knockout stage of the world cup and its tough to determine a clear favourite among the two well balanced teams.
