Show Preview

One of England or New Zealand will lift the Cricket World Cup trophy for the first time when the two nations do battle at Lord’s in London. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 7:30pm (AEST).

The English were one of the big favourites coming into the tournament, and despite a shaky road through the middle portion where they squandered games against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, they came good, surged into the finals and then destroyed Australia in Thursday’s semi-final.

It was one of most dominant, one-sided performances we have seen so far at the World Cup, and they will go into the final with absolute confidence.

Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow went all guns blazing at the top, while Joe Root also looks in good form, but it’s their bowling where the tournament hosts can expect to win this match.

Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes have been fabulous up front, while Adil Rashid has been really good with the ball.

Where it gets a bit tricky for England is with their fourth and fifth bowling options. Liam Plunkett, Mark Wood and Ben Stokes have struggled with the ball, and if their front-up bowlers don’t do a job and make sure the Black Caps are in recovery efforts, then it could get messy.

Of course, New Zealand have had to stage recoveries for most of the tournament. Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor have often been in within the first powerplay thanks to failures at the top, with Martin Guptill out of form.

If Guptill can get it right though, he has the potential to be one of the most dangerous batsmen on the planet, and with a big-hitting middle and lower order, the Black Caps really do have the potential to score runs.

In saying that, this is a final and it may well be low-scoring with both teams nervous, so for that reason, the form of Trent Boult and Matt Henry with the new ball will be pivotal for the Kiwis.

Prediction
The slope of Lord’s should favour Boult, while Santner has been dangerous. Guptill is overdue for a good knock, and England just may not have the batting depth to get the job done when the pressure hits as they try to win a World Cup in front of their home fans.

New Zealand in a thriller.
