Australia bowled out for 223 after Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid took 3 wickets each for England while Jofra Archer picked 3 wickets. Jason Roy led the charge for England with a 65-ball 85 while Bairstow, Root and Morgan ensured Australia won’t get any closer to victory. Woakes continued on damaging the opponent as he dismissed Peter Handscomb who replaced the injured Usman Khawaja. This wasn’t a very easy win to England, but robbing Australia’s chance to another World Cup was England’s goal during the game.

England will be playing their first 50-over World Cup final in 27 years of England. The last time they reached this far is the 1992 edition in which they were defeated by Pakistan in the summit clash. During last Sunday’s match England gave the all-time rival and defending champion a hard time in getting another win. England waited a long time for this moment and they played the game very well this time. The win over the undefeated champion changed the team standing and has the chance to finally home the trophy. If they win over New Zealand, they will be the third country to lift the trophy on their home soil.

Meanwhile, New Zealand have played 8 semi-finals and managed to make to the final twice. In 2015, they lose a game against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. This time around they won’t be fighting against the same opponent since it was crushed another first timer in the finals after so many years.
