England vs Pakistan Final Betting Tips & Prediction – T20 World Cup 2022
Pakistan have odds of 2.30 on Parimatch to win 2022 T20 World Cup final while England are betting favorites with odds of 1.61.
Pakistan have defied all odds and booked themselves a place in the T20 World Cup finals against England. Pakistan would not have made it to the semi-final if the Netherlands did not surprise South Africa in their last game.
South Africa’s loss gave Pakistan a crack at New Zealand in the semi-finals and Pakistan played outstanding cricket to secure a spot in the final.
England were among the top three teams expected to win the T20 World Cup and they have played very well. They dominated India in the second semi-final to show why they are ranked the number 1 team on the ICC’s T20 World Ranking leaderboard.
This is going to be a huge test for Pakistan and England as both teams have peaked at the right time and each of them will fancy their chances to be the 2022 World Cup champions.
The T20 World Cup final is set to take place on Nov 13 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Unfortunately, the weather forecast does not look good for Nov 13 as there is an 80 percent chance for showers. The ICC has a reserve day scheduled for the final but once again the weather does not look good for Nov 14 as you also have an 80 percent chance of showers.
The chance of this being a 2022 T20 World Cup final with a reduced over rate looks very likely. Let us now look at ENG vs PAK final betting tips and predictions.

ENG vs PAK Final T20 Prediction
Pakistan have the best bowling side while England have the best batting line-up in the T20 World Cup. This makes them a perfect foil to each other and cricket fans should have a cracker of a T20 World Cup final, provided rain does not play spoilsport.
If rain does interrupt and it comes down to a reduced over format or D/L gets involved, it will no longer just be a battle of skills.
Pakistan will take confidence from their win against the Kiwis in the semi-final as their openers put together a 100-run partnership. With Pakistan’s batting coming good at the right time, they have the ability now to beat any team if they play to their potential.
England were expected to have a tough challenge against India but blew them away after their openers put on a 170 unbeaten opening partnership that won them the game in just 16 overs. We are backing England to win the 2022 T20 World Cup final match in our T20 World Cup prediction.
Recommended Betting Tip: England (1.61)
England vs PAKISTAN T20 Betting Options
The MCG will offer pace and bounce to the fast bowlers and that’s where Pakistan has a huge edge over England. They have the left arm-swing of Shaheen Shah Afridi with the new ball and then have raw pace in Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah. Pakistan also have quality spinners with Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz.
If anyone can test England’s batting depth, it will be this talented Pakistani bowling line-up and they will need their bowlers to perform if they want to win this game. Pakistan will also need their openers to get them off to a strong start so that their middle order can play freely toward the end of the innings.
England have relied heavily on their openers throughout the competition and will hope captain Jos Buttler and Alex Hales can continue their good form. If they fail, then England’s middle order will be tested and the likes of Liam Livingstone and Ben Stokes will need to play key roles.
We think England have the edge in this game only because we feel they will play better under pressure as Pakistan will feel more pressure in this game as the MCG is going to be packed with Pakistani supporters.
Pak vs ENG T20 Top Batsman Betting Tip
England’s top two batsmen are Jos Buttler and Alex Hales who are once again going to be a danger for Pakistan. Will they be able to handle the swing of Shaheen Shah Afridi and the pace of Haris Rauf? If they fail, then you got to look to Liam Livingstone to score quickly and take charge of the innings.
We have a preview on the T20 World Cup top batsman odds market as well. Mohammad Rizwan and captain Babar Azam made half-centuries against the Kiwis and will want to continue that good form against England. Both players score quickly and can take the game away from England quickly.
Recommended Betting Tip: Jos Buttler
Eng vs PAK T20 Top Bowler Betting Tip
Mark Wood missed the game against India and we don’t know as of now if he is going to be fit enough to play against Pakistan. If England are without Wood, they will depend on Sam Curran at the death and T20 special Chris Jordan.
Pakistan will rely more on their pace attack than their spinners at the SCG and will look to Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi to get them crucial wickets.
Recommended Betting Tip: Shaheen Shah Afridi
Pak vs Eng Player of the Match Betting
We think the final is going to be a closely contested game with both bat and ball. The key batsmen for Pakistan are going to be Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Mohammad Haris.
England’s match winners are going to be Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, and Sam Curran who can clear the boundary in the slog overs.
Since we think England have a slight edge over Pakistan, we are going to back Jos Buttler to once again play a match-winning knock and help England win the T20 World Cup.
Recommended Betting Tip: Jos Buttler
