Pakistan vs England MCG Attendance 80,462 2022 T20 World Cup Final Crowd November 13
A crowd of 80,462 were present at the MCG for the 2022 T20 World Cup final between Pakistan and England on November 13, 2022 (Sunday). It was however a lower crowd than the 90,293 fans who were in attendance for India vs Pakistan and 82,507 for India vs Zimbabwe earlier in the tournament in the group stages. It was also a lower attendance than the 86,174 crowd who turned up for the Australia vs India T20 Womens World Cup final at this venue two years ago.
It was also a smaller crowd than the 87,182 who watched the 1992 50 over World Cup final between these two very teams (Pak v Eng) at the G.
England won the final by beating Pakistan.
India vs England Adelaide Attendance 40,094 Semi Final 2022 T20 World Cup November 10 Match Report
England set up a mouth watering final clash against Pakistan after they beat India by ten wickets in front of a 40,094 strong crowd at the Adelaide Oval. The two teams had competed in a seven game T20 series back in Pakistan before the World Cup, with England winning 4-3, and this T20 WC final on Sunday is essentially a repeat of the 1992 WC final at the same venue (Imran Khan’s side won that day). Pakistan had beaten NZ in front of 36,443 fans at the SCG yesterday in the first SF.
India’s crowds in Australia have been excellent through the WC (see all Indian game attendances at T20 WC 2022), and this one was no different- the 40,094 fans in attendance was a record for the Adelaide Oval in this tournament.
The last team to win a T20 World Cup knockout game (not affected by rain/DLS) were the West Indies back in 2012, and England skipper, Jos Buttler, perhaps aware of that fact, opted to put India in after winning the toss.
The Men in Blue lost KL Rahul early, and skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli opted to consolidate rather than attack in the early stages, which meant India crawling to 60 odd after the first ten overs. That became 100/3 after 15 overs, but Hardik Pandya’s blitzkrieg at the end saw India score 68 off the final five, and they finished at 168/6 in their allotted 20 overs.
