England are all set to lock horns with New Zealand in the epic battle for ICC World Cup 2019 on Sunday at Lord’s. While the hosts made their way into the grand finale after a long wait of 27 years, the Kiwis will be trying out their luck for the title for the second time in a row.

The Englishmen are indeed the favourites in the tournament, New Zealand have been the dark horses as they knocked out India in semis in a nail-biting affair.

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 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.
