This article will provide you the Predicted XIs, Team News & the Best BalleBaazi Combination for ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Final between England and New Zealand.
England: Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes, Liam Plunkett, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood.
New Zealand: Henry Nicholls, Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Tom Latham, Colin de Grandhomme, Jimmy Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult.
Team News:
Both England and New Zealand are likely to retain the same team that featured in their respective semi-finals.
Liam Plunkett is likely to continue ahead of Moeen Ali.
There is a small chance that Colin Munro may replace Henry Nicholls in the starting XI for New Zealand.
Match Tips:
Weather Forecast: Rain is not forecast for this match and it is likely to be a dry, sunny day in London.
The Lord's pitch is generally a good pitch for batting but is likely to slow down as the match progresses.
Given the pressure cooker situation that both teams find themselves in, they will definitely look to win the toss and bat first.
Adil Rashid picked up 3 wickets in the last match and will be in confident mood heading into this match.
The New Zealand batting is over-reliant on Kane Williamson. He will need to have a big night if New Zealand are to prevail on the night.
Match Prediction: Given the enormity of the occasion, the side batting first will have a considerable advantage. England have picked up some steady momentum as the tournament has progressed. They will be slight favourites for this final.
However, the Kiwis thrive as the underdogs and cannot be taken lightly.
Key Players:
England: Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy, Joe Root, Jofra Archer
