England have bludgeoned their way to the ICC World T20 men’s final against Pakistan in Melbourne on Sunday.

Alex Hales and captain Jos Buttler smacked England to a 10-wicket victory against India in the semi-final on Thursday.

England are looking to become the first nation to hold both the 50-over and 20-over World Cup trophies at the same time.

When is the final?

The final will be held on Sunday night in Melbourne. For us in the UK that’s Sunday morning 8am.

Is it on terrestrial television?

Yes, is the short answer, despite no British free-to-air broadcasters having the rights.

Three years ago the One-Day World Cup final was not on terrestrial television either but rights-holders Sky Sports shared their broadcast with Channel 4 to ensure the showpiece occasion was broadcast to a much larger audience.

And Sky have done so again, after it was announced on Thursday afternoon that England’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Final against Pakistan will be shown on free to air television after Sky struck a deal with Channel 4 to make the match available to the nation, enabling all the UK & Ireland to watch this sporting spectacle.

England’s bid to lift the trophy for a second time will be shown live on Sky Showcase - available in all Sky homes - and on Channel 4, Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Cricket.

All channels will broadcast Sky Sports’ coverage which includes the award-winning commentary team of Ian Ward and former England captains Nasser Hussain, Michael Atherton and Eoin Morgan.

This is the latest partnership between Sky and Channel 4 to make a key sporting moment available to the nation. Previous events include the iconic 2019 men’s super-over victory against New Zealand and the final race of the 2021 Formula 1 Championship in Abu Dhabi.

Jonathan Licht, Managing Director, Sky Sports said: “We know the importance of this game, so we are pleased to be able to share this great sporting moment with our whole nation thanks to our strong relationship with Channel 4.

"Whether you’re supporting England or Pakistan, this will be one to remember.”

Ian Katz, Chief Content Officer, Channel 4 said: “We are thrilled that Channel 4 and Sky have struck this deal to make another great national sporting moment available on free to air television to audiences across the UK.

"As the days draw in, some thrilling international cricket from the southern hemisphere should offer some welcome cheer.”
