To have a chance of defeating England, 137 was never enough for Pakistan — and that just about summed up the weekend of TV and the coming week: just not enough to be interesting. Into the T20 World Cup final tuned 728,000 on Nine’s main channel and Gem. An average of 367,000 watched on Foxtel, making up a total audience of nearly 1.1 million viewers.

And that was the night. In the morning, Insiders is still strong for the ABC, with 548,000 relatively early risers.
