The key Cricket World Cup final battles

The ball can swing a little bit more at Lord's, as we saw when the teams met in the group stage, and he's adept at making the most of conditions. The ball did swing for two or three overs; everyone goes on about Roy's strokeplay but his technique up front against Starc was absolutely spot on. Jofra Archer has been unbelievable; for a 24-year-old to run up and bowl the delivery that he did to Australia's captain Aaron Finch first up showed how ice-cool he is. Lord's is a unique ground for bowlers and even someone like James Anderson hasn't worked out which is his best end! Archer didn't have his best gameof the World Cup at Lord's against Australia (1-56 off nine) but he's ticked every other box. Eoin Morgan played brilliantly against Australia, again, but New Zealand will go at him with short stuff. Related: Top ten moments of the Cricket World Cup 2019 [Read Sport]
