Weather and pitch report

Rains are forecast at the night on Monday but the weather is expected to be clear before the game. However, if not, Lord’s is well equipped to deal with the showers and expected to the game will go forward smoothly.

Prediction for match result

The pressure will be on both the sides, though more will be on England as they need to win the game to keep their hope alive to qualify for the semi-finals. Moreover, they will not get the service of their in-form opener Jason Roy. That certainly makes their squad a little weaker as James Vince failed to pose a threat to Australia. On the other hand, Australia are much stronger now with their in-form all-rounder Marcus Stoinis’ return.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this England vs Australia game in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 should go in Australia’s favour. Even though England can be dangerous, Australia have some players like David Warner, Aaron Finch, Mitchell Starc etc. who single-handedly win the games for their side.
