Match Day Atmosphere
Raf has traveled to north London, sparing us the journey.
“It is absolutely sweltering out there,”
she reports.
“Almost cooked on the tube on the way here. West Indies have just done a very complex warm-up with some kind of cone colour-coding system.”Wherever you are, it is important to stay hydrated.
Conditions at Lord’s
Greetings from the relative cool of my living room, although I feel as if my body is slowly congealing like a three-day-old lasagne. At Lord’s, England’s team is equipped with cooling vests and ice packs as they face their toughest challenge of the tournament on the hottest June day ever recorded. It is fortunate that the World Cup is not sponsored by the world’s largest corporate carbon polluter.
Teams’ Performance
Both West Indies and England have played three matches and won all three. However, West Indies have achieved this with a less impressive run rate. This sets the stage for an exciting match, provided spectators can endure the heat.
