So, the time has come. The battle has begun between England and Pakistan to see who will take the trophy of the T20 World Cup 2022 at their home. England won the toss and invited Pakistan to bat first. The first inning of the final match of the T20 World Cup has started. Rizwan and Babar took the field, and Stokes opened the attack.

Sam Curran was able to dismiss the partnership of Rizwan and Babar. Rizwan was gone after 15(14). Haris hit 4 in the last ball of the power play, and the scoreboard of Pakistan displayed 39 runs with a loss of 1 wicket. The power play was gone in the name of Sam as he took the most crucial wicket of Rizwan in the 4th over. Haris tried to hit boundaries and chase the good run score for Pakistan but was caught out with the immediate impact of Rashid in the first ball of the 8th over. Haris was dismissed after 8(12). Pakistan has reached 50 after the 8 overs with a loss of 2 most crucial wickets. The partnership of Babar and Shan took the Pakistan scoreboard to 68/2 after 10 overs.

The 12th over of Rashid was enough to show the level of competency between both teams. Rashid took the wicket of Babar and didn’t allow Pakistan to take even a single run.

Stokes has the most swing out of all the England bowlers, and he gets one to straighten in the 13th over, and Iftikhar was gone with 0 runs in 6 balls.
