England, on the other side, defeated India by a crushing 10-wicket victory. Pakistan and England will clash in Melbourne’s famous stadium on Sunday, and here are the pitch report and weather forecast details.
Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Pitch Report And Weather Forecast On Sunday, November 13 2022 T20 World Cup Final 2022
The rain has largely disrupted the games at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Because of heavy rain, three games planned to be played at the MCG had to be cancelled. The final between Pakistan and England will begin at 1:30 p.m. IST on Sunday, and 95% of rain is forecast in Melbourne throughout the day on November 13. The temperature will drop to 13 degrees in the evening, and the humidity will be at 86 per cent.
If weather causes the final to be postponed, it will be played on Monday’s reserve day. However, Monday’s weather appears to be less than favourable as well, with about 95% rain predicted. England and Pakistan would have to share the title if the final could not be completed even on the reserve day.
Pitch Report: The Melbourne pitch frequently provides the pacers with some strong carry and bounce. The highest total score at the MCG is still India’s 184 against Australia in 2016. No side has yet reached a 200+ total in T20Is. The MCG pitch is swift and the bounce is predictable, which can favour the batsmen to score several runs. So far, the chasing team has won 11 of the 20 games played here, and it will come as no surprise if they win the toss and choose to field first. The game will be extremely exciting to watch.
