The stage is set at the home of cricket but before getting into the face-off, let’s have a look at the weather update. Lord’s Weather Forecast This World Cup has created a bizarre record – for having the most washed out matches. And as far as the final showdown is concerned, the rain God is likely to spoil the mood today as well.

Lord’s Pitch Report The Lord’s pitch has backed the team batting first throughout the tournament, and the team winning the toss on Sunday can be expected to go the same way. The Englishmen have been a dangerous side when batting first. In three of the four matches here in this World Cup, the team batting in the latter half has been bowled out.
