Final | England vs Pakistan | Melbourne, 13 November 2022

[Jack1]

England bat super deep with Jordan in over Wood. And with Salt over Malan they can target the power play even more. I feel like England ought to send in Salt 3 and Ali 4 with how deep they bat and Ali’s recent performance against Shadab. Stokes can anchor from 5 if necessary with Rashid at 11. With the long boundaries England ought to be targeting 60 in the power play for loss of 3 wickets or less to make the asking rate a cakewalk

England just need to smash 100 from the powerplay and we can all go to bed

 

[subshakerz]

Pakistan just go all for broke, dont hold back, try and blast out their top order even if they get smashed.

 

[White Ball]

If it rains and they can't get 10 overs in, does this mean the game is null and void, or do England restart at their position before the rain hits?

Is there any threat of rain?

They restart tomorrow from where they left off

One more innings of unpredictability from Pakistan in this tournament is all we need.

The radar does look threatening. Not sure if it'll hit early enough to affect the match though.

 

[Victor Ian]

No chance of rain. Need the crowd to start a riot or something.

 

[Victor Ian]

But England have Hales and Stokes, so England would thump the rioters quiet and then go about getting the runs.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

if Pak had 10 more runs, then i would have given them some chances but 137 seeems too low aginst this lineup.

 

[slippy888]

Hales is strange guy for sure I have to say

Pakistan need a v quick start otherwise we'll stroll to victory.

Frankly England just bowled that well. Collectively the best bowling effort by a side in this WC.
