Analysis:
Pakistan has emerged as one of the most dominant teams in the tournament after being almost knocked out of the tournament. But since then the Men in Green have been on an undefeated winning streak where they defeated tournament favourites like South Africa and New Zealand.
England, on the other hand, took down another title favourite, India in dominant fashion. Their bowlers got off to good start but conceded a few runs in the death overs which could be an issue in the grand finale. Whereas their openers blew the Indian bowling attack out of the game as they posted a record-breaking 170-run partnership to storm into the finals.
