Josh Hazlewood has played three matches at The Lords and has taken 13 wickets, but he has never lost the event
Australia cricket team pacer Josh Hazlewood is confident of being at his best as he gears up for the World Test Championship (WTC) final against South Africa. The fast bowler, who recently guided RCB to their maiden IPL trophy, has never lost a match at the iconic Lord’s. The high-octane clash between Australia and South Africa for the mace will commence on June 11 that will see Pat Cummins and co. chase their second consecutive WTC title.
Hazlewood’s prolific record at Lord’s
Hazlewood has played three matches at Lord’s in which he has taken 13 wickets but hasn’t lost even a single game. The Australian pacer said that he felt very confident of bowling in England any time he played in the country.
“Any time I bowl in England I’m reasonably confident. I’ve had some good tours here over the last 10 years and Lord’s in particular. I haven’t lost before at Lord’s yet as a player, certainly in red-ball cricket for sure and we have had a couple of good wins there over the years,” Hazlewood said.
Hazlewood picked up 22 wickets in 12 matches in IPL 2025, averaing 15. Having spent the previous year battling injury, the right-armer found his rhythm again in a sensational IPL run. He was largely unplayable throughout the season, and RCB got a huge boost when he returned from an injury ahead of the playoffs.
