World Cup: New Zealand win the toss and elect to bat first against England, here are the Playing XI of both sides

After 48 games, two of the best teams England and New Zealand will be battling it out for the coveted trophy as they lock horns against each other in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 final at Lord's on Sunday. Both teams will be aiming to win their maiden world title. The hosts have reached the finals on three occasions in 1979, 1987 and 1992 respectively but ended up faltering at the final hurdle.  Meanwhile, the Kiwis have reached the summit clash for the second consecutive time. They had made it to the finals in the last edition under Brendon McCullum's captaincy but went down to Australia in a lopsided contest. As England will be looking to get fourth time lucky, the Kiwis will be eager to bury the ghosts of 2015.

The underdogs New Zealand had stunned the favourites India in the first semi-final by 18 runs while England demolished their arch-rivals and former champions Australia by eight wickets in the other semi-final.
