#2 Why they will: Familiar conditions

Lord's Cricket Ground in London will host the World Cup final

One thing that will work in favour of the English team is that the local pitches and conditions are familiar to them. England has played 32 ODI matches at home since 2016 and has a record of 24 wins, 4 losses, 1 tie, and 3 no results. On top of this, 2 of those losses came in dead rubber games when they had already wrapped up the series.

Home factor has helped both Australia and New Zealand reach the final of the 2015 World Cup. In fact, the last two editions of the World Cup have been won by the home teams.

The final of the World Cup will be at Lord's, where England have won all their games in the last three years apart from a dead rubber match against South Africa.
