Pakistan have set the target 138 to England in the Final of ICC Mens T20 World Cup at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday.
Winning the toss, England skipper Jos Buttler said, “We are going to bowl first. Huge game, with good nerves and there was a lot of good energy around the team. Great energy in the stadium and we are looking forward to a great game. Both teams come into this final in red-hot form and we are looking forward to a tough challenge. I think it is a good wicket and hopefully, it will stay the same throughout. Obviously, there's a little bit of weather around which is why we chose to bowl. We start fresh today, and we bring confidence from the other day but we know it counts for nothing today."
