MCG T20 records England: Melbourne Cricket Ground England T20 matches all result list

While quite a few pre-match factors are inclined towards England ahead of ICC T20 World Cup 2022 final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground tomorrow, one stark facet against them is that they have never won a T20I at this venue. Surprisingly, the same doesn’t make Pakistan as favourites because even they haven’t won a T20I here.

It was less than a week after their remarkable 3-1 victory in Ashes 2010-11 that England had first participated in a Melbourne T20I. Since then, England have played a T20I at the historic MCG after each Ashes trip (barring the most recent series earlier this year) only to continually end up on the losing side.

Irrespective of whether they win or lose the toss or bat or bowl first, England are yet to crack the code with respect to winning a Melbourne T20I. Frankly speaking, they won’t get a better opportunity than putting an end to this losing streak in an occasion as prestigious as a T20 World Cup final.
