The Final match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 will be played between New Zealand and England at Lord’s on Sunday, July 14.
The last time England and New Zealand met in the 2019 World Cup, it was a group stage encounter and the hosts broke a 27-year-old record to beat the Kiwis in a showpiece event tie.
But all that will count for nothing when the two teams clash in the final at Lord’s on Sunday. While New Zealand beat favourites India to seal the final spot, England thrashed arch-rivals Australia by eight wickets to set up the final date.
England came into the World Cup as outright favourites to win the title. In the years after their 2015 World Cup debacle, England’s approach to ODI cricket went through a complete overhaul. Their all or nothing batting style helped them notch up four 400-plus totals and at the World Cup, their bowlers have also stepped up but they have faced some difficulty in reaching the knockout stage.
New Zealand finished fourth in the table due to a dip in form towards the end of the group stages and a washed out match, but the Kiwis were one of the dominant sides for much of this tournament. IANS takes a look at their journey to the final, where New Zealand will clash with hosts England at the Lord’s on Sunday.
