Moving ahead from today's match, this question is for Kiwis fans or even neutrals out there.

Whom you would prefer to face in the World Cups finals 2019- England or Australia?

Discuss!
 
Our best chance is against England, but the thought of being the team that lost a WC to England is too much.

Run back 2015 and avenge the loss and become the 1 in 5 and 1 or lose to the GOAT cricket nation.

I guess you'd only be the 2 in 5 and 2 as Sri Lanka has beaten the Aussies as well in a Finals =) I would personally prefer an England vs New Zealand final as I believe NZ are more equipped to beat England in the event they get a sporting pitch! Also, LET'S GO KIWIS!!

SL beat Aus? Damn, I knew they won a WC didn't remember it was against Aus.
 
England Vs New Zealand should be a cracking final as opposed to New Zealand vs Australia

Rather see a new champion crowned than see Australia lift it one more time
 
I'd rather have New Zealand face England on Sunday for the greater good of the game. I want to see a new winner for sure, plus if England reach the final they'll put the match on FTA so maybe it'll bring in some new viewers.
 
NZ beating AUS.

I hate England and it will be good to see NZ getting another chance against AUS at Lord's, which suits them way more than the MCG did.
 
I'd rather NZ win it. England will be downright insufferable if they win it.
 
I want us to beat Australia and for Trent Boult to get Warner like Starc got McCullum 4 years ago. Ross Taylor to hit the winning runs

Guptill for the memes.

Kane because he's carried us and it would be fitting for him.

Taylor because of what he's done for NZC.
 
Everyone support New Zealand now.

I request everyone support New Zealand to win the tournament. Last time they were unable to give the late Martin Crowe a farewell gift days before he passed away when they lost to Australia in the final. Then some months back that attack on the Masjid when so many innocent people died means they deserve some happiness. The way their PM carried herself afterwards won the hearts of all the world.
 
I would feel wrong to support them against England and India for Pakistans gain and now throw them away in the final. I would feel like I used them, so it is NZ all the way for me now. Come on you kiwis
 
We need a new world champion, not australia again,
So NZ or england would be good. With england, i feel this whole wc has been taylored for them to win it, so i have my reservations about them winning it. However, I am a brit, so i feel i should support england, but i think NZ will win it, no team can be so lucky and not win, that would be like destiny playing a practical joke on NZ!
 
They’ve been my second team ever since the World Cup started. I said if we’re not winning it then hopefully NZ does
 
They should root for Australia because much like India, Australia's middle and lower-order hasn't fired and seems a bit vulnerable.

Also, if England reach the final, the match will obviously be played on the flattest pitch in the history of mankind. :yk
 
I'd much rather face England than Australia. I think the pressure and expectations of being the home and number 1 ranked team will work against the Poms if they make it to the final.

What were you saying about the approach the other day? :yk

Aussies are tough cookies. Their side isnt top quality like that of the 2000s but they make up for it with mental strength and will power.
 
As a loyal blackcaps fan for the past 24 hours, I'd prefer England in the final. Starc & Co will just rip through NZ.
 
I will be supporting England against newzealand but if Australia makes it then I will support newzealand obviously
 
Doesn't matter who they play in the final,iv got feeling
its New Zealands WC
 
Australia are very good at knockouts and if they play NZ in the final id put my money on them to beat NZ which is why I very much prefer England playing NZ as I dont want Australia winning another World Cup.

Hopefully it is England, they are the best team amongst the semi finalists.
 
I have been supporting NZ because I love Kane.If Pakistan can't do it then NZ all the way.
 
England!!!!
Hopefully the pitch will be super flat and English bowlers will be neutralized and both the openers will score 370 and England will choke under scoreboard pressure.
 
How many of the 'New Zealand' fans here are from New Zealand and of non South Asian descent?
 
What were you saying about the approach the other day? :yk

That was just me trying to troll you tbh. I know you would have done the same if Pakistan were in the same spot. :))

I was obviously supporting them against India and will do the same in the final.
 
Aussies are tough cookies. Their side isnt top quality like that of the 2000s but they make up for it with mental strength and will power.

Still very much beatable as shown by South Africa.

England on a flat track, where it becomes a batting shootout, will be too strong for this NZ batting.
