Pak vs Eng Sam Curran dismisses Rizwan in the T20 World Cup final.

Pakistan opener Mohammad Rizwan was sent back to the pavilion after being dismissed by Sam Curran in the final clash of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

After being sent to bat first by England skipper Jos Buttler, Rizwan scored 15 runs off 14 balls and hit one six before getting out in the fifth over.

Both sides are unchanged for the final match of the multi-nation tournament.

Remaining confident after the toss, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam said the team is aiming to keep the momentum going - that it attained after winning four consecutive matches.

Babar noted that had he won the toss, he would have also opted to bowl first.

"We'll try to put runs on the board and put pressure on [England]. The way the team is playing is outstanding," he added.

The weather - which posed a major threat to the tournament's final - has improved in Melbourne. The chance of rain has reduced from 95% to 46% before the highly-anticipated clash.

A minimum of 10 overs per side are needed to constitute a game, compared to five during the group stages. If the match starts on Sunday but isn't finished, it will resume on Monday from where it was halted.
