Shouldn’t doubt this England side in big games really!

Final against probably the team nearest matched to us on their day. Dangerous team are Pakistan. 

If there’s on regret I have about all of this it’s that I won’t see Pakistan beat India in the final!

There is a reserve day on the Monday, but I think that only gets used if there's no play at all or not enough overs for a result, they'd still try and finish on the Sunday using DLS if they can.

As long as Pakistan dont bat first, get 63 - 5 and then by the bizarre settings of DLS, England have to score 99 - 1 to win!

Organisers have changed the playing regulations for Sunday's Men's T20 World Cup final in Melbourne to allow more time in case of rain stoppages.

England meet Pakistan at 08:00 BST on Sunday but showers are forecast.

A reserve day is scheduled for Monday but, with more rain forecast, two hours have been added to allow play to continue late into Monday evening.

If a 10-over-per-side contest cannot be played then England and Pakistan will be declared joint winners.

ngland reached the final with a comprehensive 10-wicket demolition of India in Adelaide on Thursday, while Pakistan strolled to a seven-wicket victory over New Zealand in the other semi-final, played on Wednesday.

The tournament's playing conditions state "every effort" will be made to complete the final on Sunday rather than using the reserve day, even if they require a shortened contest.

If the reserve day is required the match will continue from Sunday, rather than be restarted.

It will be played under the same playing conditions as the last ball bowled the previous day, meaning if a 10-over-per-side match starts on Sunday the final would be played to the same length on Monday.

The addition of two extra hours means there are seven hours and 10 minutes to fit in a match on the reserve day.

If required play will start at 04:00 GMT.

It'll be an absolute farce if its completely washed out on both days and the trophy having to be shared.   

 

Imagine that in football….lightning stops the final for two days so Brazil and France share the trophy. It would never happen.  Cricket is the best sport but also the most ridiculous sometimes in its decisions
