Pakistan remember dugna lagan😆

England don't let Pakistan win😛

Indians take a chill pill😎

Let us enjoy a good game and I wish to see a thriller today, a fitting finale!😃

Teams:

Pakistan (Playing XI): Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Rizwan(w), Mohammad Haris, Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi

England (Playing XI): Jos Buttler(w/c), Alex Hales, Philip Salt, Ben Stokes, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid

Babar Azam: We would've also bowled first but toss is not in our hands, so we will try to put runs on the board and put pressure on them. We have good momentum with us and will try to continue with it. We lost our first few games but have come back strongly and want to continue that in the final. A win always gives you confidence and with the way the team is playing we will give our 100 percent. Yes history repeats (referring to the 1992 World Cup), we will try to win this game and hold the cup. Same team.

Jos Buttler: We are going to bowl first. Huge game, good nerves and there's 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, we bring confidence from the other day but we know it counts for nothing today. Same team.

England have won the toss and have opted to field

"There are some nice dry grass areas on the surface. But there are green patches as well. It's very very hard. Want to use the short ball. It swung more in the poweplay here than in any other ground. The kind of bowlers we have today - Shaheen, Stokes, Woakes - stick to your strengths" - Ian Bishop with the pitch report.

Shaheen: Why was the toss earlier than usual? -- "There is going to be a some small cultural program for 8 mins and hence we had an early toss."

Cultural programme? 😆

I mean seriously?

Boss..This is WC fianl. And not any league final.😡

Ke jaha tumhara hunar dikhao😡

This is certainly not THE PLATFORM to perform any cultural activity.

"There are a few nice dry grass areas on this surface but there are some green patches too. It's very, very hard, so that's where you want to use that short ball because at one stage you had more bounce in this pitch than any other surface in the tournament. It has swung more in the power play here than any other ground in this World Cup - 1.8 degrees, the next best has been 1.1 degrees. Shaheen, Stokes, Woakes and Curran have swung the ball more in the power play than others - Stokes has swung the most out of the lot. Stick to your strength in the power play by pitching it up rather than bowling short," opines Ian Bishop.

Now National Anthems.

just reserving this for the first Four😆😆😆

Sorry had a brain fart
