The planned way in which England dismantled Pakistan’s potent pace attack on Sunday night at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the final was reminiscent of a similar type of attitude that Jos Buttler and his victorious team adopted against the star-studded Indian batting line-up in the semifinal clash at the Adelaide Oval on November 10.
The no-frills outlook and attention to details worked wonders for England as they restricted Pakistan to a total below 140 in the summit clash.
And when they chased the target, England’s batsmen were put under severe pressure by the top-class Pakistan bowling attack but came out with glory, led by the cool and calm demeanour of Ben Stokes, who stroked his way to 52 not out in 49 balls.
Stokes was the bowler who suffered at the hands of the big-hitting Carlos Brathwaite in the 2016 T20 World Cup final at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata when he...

Melbourne, Nov 13 (Ians) England captain Jos Buttler has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Pakistan in the final of the Men’s T20 World Cup at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday.
Both England and Pakistan, who featured at the venue in the 1992 Odi World Cup final 30 years ago, are entering the title clash with unchanged playing elevens from their respective blazing wins in the semifinal.
While Pakistan registered a seven-wicket victory over New Zealand at the Sydney Cricket Ground, England thrashed India by 10 wickets at the Adelaide Oval.
“Huge game, good nerves, good energy around the team and in the stadium. Looking forward to the challenge. I think it is a good wicket and hopefully it will stay the same throughout.

Melbourne, Nov 12 (Ians) After a topsy-turvy time in the Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia, the final of the tournament has arrived. If the unpredictable weather of Melbourne permits a full match, then fans are in store for a blazing final between a confident England and solid Pakistan on Sunday, which is ironically a repeat of the settings of the 1992 Odi World Cup final clash.
With both teams on their quest to win just their second T20 World Cup title, the heavy rain predicted for the final showdown on Sunday as well as on Monday, the reserve day, the trophy could be shared between the two teams. Fans will be praying to the cricketing gods to conjure up miraculous circumstances for the match to be held, even if it is a 10-overs a side affair.

Melbourne, Nov 12 (Ians) Eoin Morgan, the former England captain who led the side to the 2019 Odi World Cup at home, said he would pick David Willey over Chris Jordan to play in the final of Men’s T20 World Cup if Mark Wood is unavailable for the title clash due to general body stiffness.
Jordan had replaced an injured Wood in England’s 10-wicket win over India in the second semifinal at Adelaide Oval on Thursday. He clinched figures of 3/43 in his four overs and was praised immensely by captain Jos Buttler on bowling three of the last five overs.
But Morgan feels that the dimensions at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where straight boundaries are shorter and square boundaries are longer than Adelaide Oval, may not suit Jordan and that left-arm pacer Willey could come into the side to pick early wickets.

Melbourne, Nov 11 (Ians) England coach Matthew Mott on Friday said that the team management “will keep an open mind” over the availability of pacer Mark Wood and batter Dawid Malan for Sunday’s Men’s T20 World Cup final against Pakistan at the McG, adding that he will “maintain a little bit of hope for them”.
Both Wood and Malan suffered injuries during England’s final Super 12s game against Sri Lanka in Sydney. They were replaced in the playing XI by Chris Jordan and Phil Salt respectively for the semifinal against India in Adelaide on Thursday.
“We’ll keep an open mind. It’s a short turnaround again: a travel day and then almost straight into it with one training session. There’s not a lot of time for them,” Mott told the BBC after the England team’s travel to Melbourne on Friday.

Ravi Shastri, the former India head coach, would say on-air, "That’s high. It’s over Virat and England win. They have given India a real hammering here." Thursday was the night where nothing went India’s way, right from the toss to Buttler and Alex Hales making their bowling attack look toothless.
The sinking feeling of India going down in the knockouts of a World Cup was back all over again. But the 10-wicket thrashing at the hands of England at Adelaide on Thursday, will take a long time to recover from for the Indian team and their die-hard fans. In their wildest imagination, no one would have ever thought that India’s campaign will come to an end this way.
Surely, the tide was looking to be different for India till it ended up in an all-familiar fashion. Visuals of India going down at the Sydney Cricket Ground...

Adelaide, Nov 10 (Ians) In England’s excellent bowling performance during their ten-wicket win over India in second semifinal of Men’s T20 World Cup, leg-spinner Adil Rashid bowled an outstanding spell of 1/20 in four overs, where no Indian batter had an answer to the questions posed by him.
Rashid was introduced into the attack from the final over of the powerplay, and ended his quota of overs in the 12th over, having strangled India’s run-scoring through the middle overs and took out a dangerous Suryakumar Yadav with a slower leg-break outside the off-stump, which delighted captain Jos Buttler.
“Such a good team performance. I thought the bowlers were outstanding. Adil Rashid, I thought had his best day for a while. He was so tough to play. I thought he looked like getting a wicket every over. I thought he was outstanding. He’s been brilliant for a long, long period of time.

Adelaide, Nov 10 (Ians) India head coach Rahul Dravid said that although playing abroad in franchise T20 leagues may bring its own advantages, it could lead to Test cricket being finished from the country’s cricketing system.
While the Indian cricketers feature in the Ipl as well as in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in the domestic circuit, England have used franchise T20 competitions to their advantage apart from the T20 Blast and The Hundred.
Apart from participating in the Ipl, England’s players have also played in Pakistan Super League (Psl), Australia’s Big Bash League (Bbl), Bangladesh Premier League (Bpl) and many other competitions.
Four of England’s players, leg-spinner Adil Rashid, opener Alex Hales, fast-bowling all-rounder Chris Jordan and batter Phil Salt had previous extensive experience of playing T20 matches at Adelaide Oval, thanks to their stints with Bbl while playing for Adelaide Strikers.

Adelaide, Nov 10 (Ians) When the Men’s T20 World Cup squad was announced, Alex Hales name wasn’t in the main squad. Couple of hours later, a freak injury to Jonny Bairstow opened the path for him to be a part of the showpiece event in Australia.
On Thursday, in the second semifinal at Adelaide Oval, Hales was all class and power mixed to hit an unbeaten 86 off 47 balls, hitting ten sixes and 13 fours collectively with captain Jos Buttler making 80 not out off 49 balls to lead England to a ten-wicket thrashing of India and set-up a date with Pakistan for the final in Melbourne on Sunday.
“A huge occasion, really happy with the way I played. I think this is one of the best grounds to bat in in the world. Great value to hit your shots with the short square boundaries, and a ground I have good memories at.

Adelaide, Nov 10 (Ians) England seamer Mark Wood has been ruled out of participating in the Men’s T20 World Cup semifinal against India at the Adelaide Oval due to a right hip injury.
Wood had pulled up during a gentle jog in the optional practice on Tuesday and took no further part as a precautionary measure with England confirming he was suffering from general body stiffness.
“Wood sustained the injury in England’s final group match against Sri Lanka at the Scg earlier this week whilst bowling his first over and has struggled to be fully fit ahead of the semifinal at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday.”

Adelaide, Nov 10 (Ians) Hours before they step into the Adelaide Oval here for a semifinal clash against a strong Indian side in the Men’s T20 World Cup, England suffered a setback with pacer Mark Wood unable to recover from an injury and set to miss the match on Thursday.
Reports from Australia claimed fellow pacer Chris Jordan will replace him in the playing eleven for the match against India.
Wood and batter Dawid Malan have been struggling for the last couple of days to get fit for the crucial knockout encounter with India and though Malan looks likely to step into the field for the semifinal, Wood may miss the bus.

T20 World Cup: Trying to give Malan, Wood as much time as possible to be fit for semis, says Buttler
Adelaide, Nov 9 (Ians) Ahead of their semifinal against India in the Men’s T20 World Cup, England skipper Jos Buttler gave an update on the availability of Dawid Malan and Mark Wood, saying that the side is trying to give the duo as much time as possible to be declared fit for the high-octane clash at Adelaide Oval on Thursday.
Left-handed batter Malan limped off the field in the 15th over after pulling up as he chased a ball to the boundary in England’s last Group 1 match against Sri Lanka at Sydney. He was padded up to bat as England suffered a wobble in the latter part of their chase, but was eventually not needed as the total was successfully chased down to book their semifinal spot.
