Lord’s Cricket Ground [PC: HomeOfCricket]

On Friday, Australia will lock horns with England in the fourth One-Day International of the ongoing five-match series. The high-octane fixture will take place at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. 

Led by Mitchell Marsh, Australia had an outstanding start to the series, securing thumping wins over the hosts in the first two matches. After Travis Head’s scintillating century powered them to victory in the opening game at Trent Bridge, the visitors recorded a fighting 68-run win in the subsequent affair at Headingley. 

However, England’s comeback was remarkable, as Harry Brook and Will Jacks helped them break their losing streak, leading them to a dominating victory in Chester-Le-Street. 

Given that the scoreline reads 2-1, a nail-biting contest is expected in the penultimate affair at the home of cricket. So, before the game begins, let’s see how the surface at Lord’s Cricket Ground will behave throughout the contest. 

Lord’s Cricket Ground Pitch Report

The pitch at Lord’s Cricket Ground might offer a hint of seam movement to the fast bowlers early on with the new ball. Bowlers who can bring the ball back into the batters using the slope will be key to their team’s success at this venue. 

However, the track’s even pace and bounce will encourage the batters to freely play their shots around the park. The spinners might get a hint of turn, particularly in the latter half of the match. Meanwhile, the seamers will primarily rely on cutters and variations to succeed in the slog overs at Lord’s. 

Since 2018, teams batting first have won all the ODI matches at this venue. Considering this fact, the toss-winner will likely bat first.
