England vs India 7th ODI : The Venue Lord’s and Detailed

The venue of the 7th match of the NatWest Series between India and England is Lord's Cricket Ground. It is well known to the cricket lover in the world as the home of Cricket. According to the history, cricket was invented from this ground. The 7th and final match of the seven matches NatWest series is going to take place at the Lord’s Cricket Ground on Saturday, 4 September 2007.

Ground History: I will not discuss more about Lord’s Cricket Ground, just a simple on it. The ground was established on 1814. The capacity is 30000. First test match played England v Australia - Jul 21-23, 1884 and first ODI played England v Australia - Aug 26, 1972. As I am describing about the ODI so I will not mention more about Test Match. 44 ODI played here form 1972. If you want to know more just visit lords website, wikipedia, circinfo etc.

Weather Reports: According to the weather forecast report, it will be partly cloud and temperature will be High: 23° and Low: 13°. As the match will be held by day so this temperature is well for cricket. I think according to the cricket language this weather will help the pacer most.

Winning Rate: Among the 44 ODI matches England took part in 36 matches and won 17 matches with the different cricket teams in the world. But the wining rate with India is not good. England and India faced each other 5 times but England beat India only one time. On the other hands India faced with England 5 times and won 4 times. So the wining rate is favor to India. Anyway, we can not come to the result by depending on this statistic. As the 7th match of the NatWest series is important to both the team. For the final result we have to wait for Saturday. Will it hold its history or break the history?

Lord’s is the last venue of the NatWest Series-2007 between India and England. In the seven match series the result is 3-3. Lord’s will dismiss the result who is the winner of that series.
