Why Team India Reached At Lord’s Ahead Of WTC-Final?
Once Team India reached at Lord’s Indoor Stadium for practice, the question arises that why before WTC-final Team India reached? It seems that Team might use more of Lord’s facilities ahead of mega series and might even see the WTC-final between Australia and South Africa.

How Australia And South Fared Against Each Other In Last 5-Matches?
In 5 encounters both team have won 2-2 each and one game was ended up in draw. While Australia holds the edge on paper, recent head-to-head results show just how evenly matched these sides can be. But this is no ordinary Test โ this is the Final, and past results will matter little when the pressure is on.
