Litchfield issues warning to England ahead of T20WC decider

"I think so," Litchfield said on Friday when asked whether the pressure is all on England. "It's all what you feel, but I think as a home side, I don't know what it feels like, but I think they're probably just going to relish it. It's going to be an amazing atmosphere out here. "And yeah, if I was them, it's probably just to enjoy it. You know, we've both made it to the final, so the best team will win on the day and they're just lucky that they've got a home crowd, I guess."

England will enjoy the majority of the crowd support playing the final at home in London and Litchfield believes this will add more pressure onto them as they aim for a second T20 World Cup title after they won the inaugural event also at Lord's back in 2009.

"I think so," Litchfield said on Friday when asked whether the pressure is all on England.

"It's weird. Pressure, it's so fickle, right?

"It's all what you feel, but I think as a home side, I don't know what it feels like, but I think they're probably just going to relish it. It's going to be an amazing atmosphere out here.

"And yeah, if I was them, it's probably just to enjoy it. You know, we've both made it to the final, so the best team will win on the day and they're just lucky that they've got a home crowd, I guess."
