England are set to face Pakistan in the finale of ICC T20 World Cup 2022 at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Former England Test captain Joe Root praised Pakistan Team for their recent outings.
“They have got some brilliant match-winners within their team; some brilliant bowling outfit, and some very talented batters. Lot spoken about the two lads at the top [Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan], and how consistent they have been in this format for an extended period. There are some wonderful players in there, so you know they are a very dangerous team, and you got to make sure that you are right on top of your game when it comes to the big final,” said Root while speaking to Sky Sports.
“Incredible performance. They [England] peaked at the right time. I think you have seen the best of the team until now. What a performance from the two up the order [Jos Buttler and Alex Hales] and great work from the bowlers to restrict India to the target [169]. As a team performance, you can’t ask for any more in a semi-final to stand up to the pressures of it in a game of that magnitude and perform like that is exceptional,” he concluded.
