England vs New Zealand
Cricket World Cup final 2019
Venue: Lord's
Date: Sunday, July 14, 2019
Start time: 10:30am BST

England have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to win the Cricket World Cup on home soil as the hosts face Lord's in Sunday's final.

England are in their first final since 1992, and will be confident of victory having put Ashes rivals Australia to the sword with a superb eight-wicket win in the semi-finals.

As for New Zealand, the Black Caps will be desperate to ensure they are not runners-up once again after losing the 2015 final to the Aussies.

Here's what you need to know for Sunday's showpiece final...


Tickets

Competition to finds seats for the final is fierce, with some tickets being advertised for more than £16,000 on some resale sites.

The ICC has warned that tickets sold on secondary ticketing websites could be invalid, and has asked fans with ticket who cannot/do not want to attend Sunday's final to return them so they can be sold via the ICC's official ticket resale platform for face value.

Prediction: England to win

Eoin Morgan's men beat the Kiwis by 119 runs in the round-robin group stages, with Jonny Bairstow hitting 106.

The Black Caps' main batting threat is very clearly Kane Williamson, and taking his wicket early could well make the difference.

The hosts are heavy favourites, and while both sides have had wobbles during the tournament, England should have enough firepower to lift the trophy.
