Legendary Pakistan left-arm seamer Wasim Akram is backing England to win the World Cup on Sunday.

England will take on New Zealand in the final at Lord’s, and neither side have won the showpiece event before.

Akram noted that he will be supporting England in the final since the country has been “a second home to me for 30 odd years”.

The World Cup hosts 2 countries that are home to so many Pakistanis, which makes my decision on who to support difficult. But England has been a second home to me for 30 odd years so my decision to support England is where my heart is at. What about you? #ENGvNZ #CWC19Final
