ICC World Cup 2019: Match 32, England vs Australia: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

If anyone can match the Indo-Pak rivalry, then it is England and Australia. The arch-rivals will face off at the iconic Lord’s in match 32 of the ongoing World Cup on Tuesday. While the Aaron Finch-led side is only one win away from sealing their place in the semi-finals, the hosts have stumbled twice unexpectedly. England’s place in the top four is not yet confirmed and another loss will put their campaign in the doldrums.

They missed Jason Roy in the last two matches and the dashing opener is unlikely to play the all-important encounter. James Vince hasn’t done much in the two matches but England don’t have other option. Australia are coming into this match with a clinical win over Bangladesh and though they conceded 333 runs, the XI is unlikely to be changed. However, the management will be tempted to play the second spinner looking at the Lord’s pitch.

Match Details

The 32nd match of the ICC World Cup 2019 will be played between England and Australia at Lord’s in London.

The match starts at 10:30 AM local time (09:30 AM GMT) (3:00 PM IST).

The game will be live on Star Sports. Live streaming available on Hotstar.

Weather Report

A thunderstorm is in the forecast in London on Monday night and even this match is likely to be affected due to rain. The thunderstorms are expected at 12 PM and 2 PM during the game and for the rest of the day, it will be cloudy according to AccuWeather. Having said that, it was cloudy for Pakistan-South Africa game as well but it didn’t rain. The temperature will hover around 21-25 degrees Celsius.

Pitch Report

The surface for the Pakistan-South Africa clash was on the slower side and the same pitch is likely to be used again. The spinners will have their say in this match as well and the team winning the toss is expected to bat first. There will be some swing early on if it rains ahead of the game.
