Hosts England are all set to battle it out against England in the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 at Lord's, London on Sunday. The former underwent a resurgence following a disappointing exit from the 2015 edition of the World Cup, starting with a 3-2 win in a high-scoring bilateral ODI series against then runners-up New Zealand. 

They will be battling it out against the same opponents with a strong desire to win their first World Cup final following three defeats in the 1979, 1987 and 1992 edition of the tournament. 

Jason Roy has played a key role in England's comeback following back-to-back defeats against Sri Lanka and Australia in the group stage, at the top of the order. The bowling led by Chris Woakes and Jofra Archer has also made it's presence felt. 

New Zealand, on the other hand, have been unpredictable in the tournament. Kane Williamson has been the leading run-scorer with the bat ensuring a solid performance on a consistent basis following a poor performance by the top order. Their bowling attack led by Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry and Trent Boult, on the other hand, has produced match-defining results in the tournament.

England will start favourites but New Zealand's ability to excel under pressure will promise a tough challenge for the hosts. 

Lineups:

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

New Zealand (Playing XI): Martin Guptill, Henry Nicholls, Kane Williamson(c), Ross Taylor, James Neesham, Tom Latham(w), Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson.
