Match details:

Previous performance of both teams in Lord’s:

Lord’s Cricket Ground is called the Mecca of Cricket. Australia’s recent record on this ground has been excellent. In the last three Tests, he did not get a single defeat (two wins, a draw). At the same time, Steve Smith’s batting average has been very good here. South Africa has also won two of the last three Tests at Lord’s. Kagiso Rabada bowling has been impressive here.

Pitch Report:

Lord’s pitch is balanced for Test cricket, but in recent years it has been more favorable for fast bowlers. Initially swing and seam movement can be expected, while spinners can also get help.

Weather mood:

The weather is usually pleasant in London in the month of June. The temperature will be between 19 and 21 degrees Celsius and the chances of rain are low, as June is one of the most dry months. The chances of raining between June 11 and June 15 are extremely low. That is, fans can enjoy the entire final match.
