England will lock horns with New Zealand in the fourth and final ODI of the four-match series at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London on Friday (September 15). England currently lead the series (2-1), and the clash will serve as a series decider.
As far as the previous match between the two sides is concerned, the Blackcaps suffered an embarrassing 181-run defeat at the hands of hosts in the third ODI. Ben Stokes was the standout performer for the English team in the contest. Stokes hammered brilliant 182 runs for England and was well supported by Dawin Malan (96). On the other hand, despite a fifer from Trent Boult and Glenn Phillip‘s 72 runs off 76 deliveries, New Zealand failed to register a win over England.
England will look to clinch the series when they meet the Kiwis on Friday, while New Zealand will be determined to level the leg.

Lord’s Oval Pitch Report:
Lord’s Cricket Ground boasts excellent pitch conditions and tends to favour seamers more. Meanwhile, batters can also score significant runs at this venue if they spend sufficient time in the middle. However, spin bowlers may encounter considerable difficulties when bowling at this ground. The team winning the toss would look to bowl first to exploit the prevailing conditions to their benefit.
