Cricket betting tips: Pakistan v England T20 World Cup final preview and best bets.

Pakistan and England are playing in the T20 World Cup final. England will have the highest first 6 overs score at 4/6.

Ben Stokes is the favourite to be the Man of the Match at 14/1.

England and Pakistan are playing in the World Cup semi-finals. Iftikhar Ahmed was named Man of the Match. Alex Hales and Ben Stokes guided England to a victory over Sri Lanka. Babar Azam's side beat Netherlands and Bangladesh to reach the semi finals. England and India will play each other in a final at the MCG.   The winner will face Pakistan in an international match.

England and Pakistan are playing in the World Cup final. England are favourites, but Pakistan have a better bowling attack. The conditions in Adelaide were flat, with the short square boundaries inviting, whereas in Melbourne the pitch generally has something for the bowlers. England fans are worried about their previous visit to the MCG. They lost to Ireland there. Pakistan's last visit there was against New Zealand. Both sides posses world-class wrist spinners in Adil Rashid and Shadab Khan. India beat Pakistan in Super 12s.

Afridi will play early and look for sideways movement to test England's top order. Rauf and Naseem will hit the pitch hard with pace and bounce. Liam Livingstone is set to play at number seven. England have depth in their batting line-up. The weather is a factor in the match. If the weather stays clear, England might have too many guns in a potentially high-scoring match, and Pakistan will fancy the job.

Pakistan's mantra is to start with caution and then pick up the pace later. England's approach is aggressive and they have scored a lot of runs in the powerplay during the tournament. Pakistan's bowling attack will pose a different challenge to England.

Stokes was Man of the Match in the World Cup final at Lord's three years ago. He has been playing for England since then. Stokes looked off the pace at the start of this World cup, but he has delivered when England needed him most. Iftikhar Ahmed has impressed me with his calm batting in middle-order. Pakistan's leg spinner Shadab is a threat for Stoke. Pakistan will turn to their batting all-rounder IFTIKHAR AHMED. England's top eight is full of left-handers. They will play Pakistan on Sunday.

The T20 World Cup final between England and Pakistan will be shown on free-to-air. Sky Sports will broadcast it on Channel 4 HD, Sky Sport Cricket and Sky sports Main Event.
