The pinnacle of a cricket match will be witnessed on Tuesday when the arch-rivals England and Australia will collide in the 32nd match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 which will be played at the ‘Mecca’ of Cricket, i.e. Lords, London.
England who was cruising at one point has suddenly found themselves reeling for a win after they lost to the minnows Sri Lanka by 20 runs in their previous match. They have a daunting task ahead of them as the teams remaining to face them are Australia, India and New Zealand.
Meanwhile, Australia would be eyeing a table-top spot when they take on England. With five wins and a loss from 6 matches, they are almost assured of a semi-final berth and a win here will take them back to the pole position.
Australia: Champions in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015 edition.
England: Runners up in 1979, 1987 and 1992 editions.
