Against England though, Pakistan will be bracing for a tough outing against arguably world’s best T20 batting line-up. England bat till 8 and that is a cause for concern. The kind of form Jos Buttler and Alex Hales showed in the semifinals, ripping Indian bowling attack apart, they are ready to take on.
Buttler and Hales stitched together a record 170-run stand to thrash India. Although Pakistani bowlers are the best bowlers at present, they will be challenged. However, before a tense final, that is set to be marred by rain, Ramiz Raja’s simple message to the team is, “Go out there and enjoy.”
