Will England be able to level the series?
Coming to the Lord’s for the 4th ODI match of the five-match series, England’s ultimate target is to level this series and take it to the decider. However, it will be an uphill battle for the young English squad, despite their win over Australia in the last match at Chester-le-street. England is expected to play with the same squad that has played in the 3rd ODI. With captain Brook and Will Jacks finding some form, now it’s on other senior batters like Phil Salt and Liam Livingstone to get some run-scoring responsibilities on their shoulders as well. For England, batting is a concern, but bowling is a bigger concern as they have conceded more than 300 runs twice in three matches. Jofra Archer has failed to create any impact over any game with the ball. So, it takes an all-round team effort for England to create any chances to take this series 2-2.
Australia will try to seal the series in Lord’s after failing to do so in Chester-le-Street
Australia will come to the Mecca of Cricket with the only intention of not taking this series to a decider. Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh will try to attack from the first ball to take the game away from England at the very first ball. Lord’s is a balanced surface where bowlers get some assistance from the surface, so scoreboard pressure will always be a haunting thing here while batting. Australia will try to get their best possible XI in this match so that they can win this match and the series at Lord’s and test their bench in the last one-day international.
How will the Lord’s Cricket Ground Pitch Behave?
The pitch at Lord’s Cricket Ground is a balanced surface that provides something to everyone without discrimination. The fast bowlers enjoy the swing and seam moment in the earlier phase of a game; after that, as the game progresses, the pitch starts to settle down and batting becomes comparatively easier. The wicket at Lord’s may not be as helpful to spinners as it is to seamers, but in the middle overs, spinners also get some purchase from the surface, although a little bit, but still they get something from the wicket.
