Australia is expected to win the toss and opt to bowl first.

Justification: Early on, conditions favor bowlers, and Marsh has favored chasing in prior important games.

Kagiso Rabada (South Africa)

And why? because Rabada has a strong record in England and is a likely top wicket-taker due to his ability to deliver with the new ball and at the end. His bounce and speed fit Lord's pitch flawlessly.

Backup pick: Josh Hazlewood – could also be pivotal with early breakthroughs in overcast conditions.

Mitchell Marsh (Australia)

And Why? because Marsh has been reliable throughout the competition and is highly skilled at pace and spin both. His calm approach in pressure matches often anchors the innings.

Backup pick: Quinton de Kock – if South Africa bats first, his explosive starts in the powerplay could set the tone.
