England hold an edge in head-to-head but Pakistan are not too far behind in other columns.

The T20 World Cup finalists, England and Pakistan, have peaked at the right time in the tournament.

Pakistan were all but eliminated from the World Cup following their loss to Zimbabwe but comprehensive wins in their remaining three group games, coupled with a helping hand from the Netherlands, secured their passage to the semis where they routed New Zealand.

England’s route to the semi-finals was not as dramatic. But there was a sense that they had not quite hit their stride in the tournament. All those concerns were alleviated in the semi-final where they decimated the much-fancied Indians by 10 wickets.

Before the final in Melbourne, here’s how the two sides stack up in numbers:
