HEAD-TO-HEAD

The teams have met 59 times in ODI cricket. South Africa have won 29 & England have managed 26 wins. In England, the home team has a far better record. They lead the H2H score by 15-8. The teams are tied at 3 games a piece in the World tournament. South Africa came out victorious in the only World Cup fixture played between the two sides in England. Lance Klusner was the player of the match on that occasion.

PITCH CONDITIONS

68 One-day Internationals have been played at the Kennington Oval, London. The teams batting first have won 26 games while the teams chasing have gone on to win 39 times.
The highest score at this venue in World Cup cricket: 322/6 by England vs New Zealand
The lowest total: 103 by England vs South Africa in the 1999 World Cup.

TEAM NEWS

Dale Steyn has been sidelined for the tournament’s opener. The world-class pacer had suffered from a shoulder injury during his brief IPL stint & won’t be rushed to take the field.
Eoin Morgan will have to choose between Mark Wood & Liam Plunkett for the season’s opener. Mark Wood worries with the ankle will create a doubt in the English think tank. Also, considering that he’s bowled only 13 overs this season.
Watching Kagiso Rabada sprint to the bowling crease will be a sight to behold. The pacer has been in exceptional form this season & will be a player to watch out for. South Africa have also got attacking options in Imran Tahir, Lungi Ngidi & Chris Morris.

EXPECTED PLAYING XI

ENGLAND

Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler(w), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Liam Plunkett/Mark Wood, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid.

SOUTH AFRICA

Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock(w), Faf du Plessis(c), Rassie van der Dussen, Jean-Paul Duminy, David Miller, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Imran Tahir, Chris Morris

ENGLAND THE FAVOURITES TO WIN THE TITLE

England are the only teams to have featured in 3 World Cup finals & lost all 3. In 2015, the team didn’t make it to the knockouts & not many would have envisaged England to turn favourites for the 2019 World Cup. Well, things have changed for England & for good. Since 2015, there’s been no looking back for the originators of the game. The likes of Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan, Joe Root, Jos Buttler, Alex Hales & Jason Roy have taken attacks to the opponents.
In the last 4 years, England have scored over 300 runs an astonishing 41 times. They’ve won 31 of those high-scoring games but the cynicism that was slowly forming a base was smashed out of the park.
Joe Root – 3802 runs in 89 matches at 55.10 which included 11 centuries.
Eoin Morgan – 3252 runs at 43.54 (6 hundreds)
Jason Roy – 2938 at 40.80 (8 hundreds)
The numbers are a testament to their good form. England have won the 2nd most game during this period. They’ve played 99 & won 62. Only India have done better with 63 wins during this period.

SOUTH AFRICA – DARK HORSES?

2015 was probably South Africa’s brightest chance to lift their 1st ever World title. Grant Elliott will go down in South Africa’s history books as the “man who killed a million hopes”.
From 2015-2019, the Proteas played 87 matches & have a winning percentage of 64.3. They’re placed 4th as far as wins are concerned during the period but at the World event & with teams heavily loaded with match winners, the Proteas have a daunting task ahead. South Africa were always contenders for the title & yet somehow managed to bottle every single opportunity. A positive this time must be the sylphlike pressure that might work in their favour.
Here’s another stat. South Africa have scored 300 or 300+ 24 times in the last 4 years & only once did they manage the game to slip away. All eyes will be on Kagiso Rabada & at the speed gun. The onus is massively placed on his young shoulders. The big question though, “Can he deliver at the mightiest stage?”.

England vs New Zealand Finals Match Prediction | ICC World Cup 2019

Image
England vs New Zealand :   “Home is where your story begins” said, Annie Danielson. The story for England began in 1877, the supposed pioneers of the beautiful game. They played the Aussies in the first ever test, the ODIs began with these two teams having a hit after the first three days of an Ashes test were washed out & all England have to show in their trophy cabinet is the World T20 title they’d won in 2010. It wasn’t a silky progression to the semis for England. And as things stand, the 3rd & the 4th placed team on the points table will play the 2019 World Cup finals. The English soil has seen champions like Clive Lloyd, Kapil Dev & Steve Waugh savour World Cup wins, but, never has an English skipper been able to flaunt the gorgeous prize. 27 years since they last played a World Cup finals, the Poms now battle it out for the most cherished possession in cricket. It’s coming home has been a common outcry, but is it really? New Zealand making it to the ...
