India vs New Zealand World Test Championship (WTC) final test fifth day cricket score. New Zealand resumed on 101 runs for the loss of two wickets.

New Zealand, who resumed on 101 runs for the loss of two wickets, lost their upper hand after their all-seam attack bowled out India for a below-par 217 runs.

Captain Kane Williamson, batting on 12 runs, and Ross Taylor, who is yet to score, would have expected to erase the 116-run deficit and push for a handy first-innings lead.

However, rain washed out an entire day’s play for the second time in the WTC final on Monday, diminishing hopes of a result in the India v New Zealand contest.

Only 141.1 overs have been bowled in the match up till now as the inclement Southampton weather continued to bedevil the opening edition of test cricket’s pinnacle event.

Scott Styris: Rohit Will Struggle Against Swing, Neil Will Trouble Virat

June 14, 2021June 14, 2021 by Web Desk

Rohit Sharma will struggle if New Zealand bowlers can move the ball around during the World Test Championship (WTC) final.

Scott Styris former New Zealand all-rounder said that Rohit Sharma India opener will struggle if New Zealand bowlers can move the ball around during the WTC final that commences on June 18 in Southampton.

Scott said, “It is pitch-dependent. I can’t stress that enough. I think if the ball is moving around then Rohit will have his struggles. We have done demonstrations after demonstrations (in the studio) about how Rohit doesn’t move his feet a lot early in his innings. If that is the case, then the swinging ball could be a problem for him,”

He explained that the New Zealand pace bowling strategy like Tim Southee, Trent Boult, and Kyle Jamieson/Colin de Grandhomme will bowl till the 22nd or 28th (over) before Neil Wagner will come into a bowl with the old ball.

He added, “There is no secret to New Zealand’s fast bowling plan if you like and that is Southee, Boult and either Jamieson or de Grandhomme will be the third seamer and they bowled till about the 22nd to 28th over with a new ball. And then Neil Wagner comes into the equation,”

He concluded, “So when you talk about Wagner, he can be aggressive and be a genuine wicket-taking option for somebody like Kohli in those middle-overs till the new ball comes around,”

Cheteshwar Pujara: We’ve learnt from mistakes on the New Zealand tour

June 14, 2021 by Web Desk

According to Cheteshwar Pujara, the World Test Championship (WTC) final starting on June 18 presents an opportunity to be a world champion, which otherwise is not possible as he is not part of the limited-overs teams.

He said, “It’s as big as any other World Cup final from another format,”

He added, “When you qualify for a WTC final, it means a lot to those who are only playing in Tests.”

He further said, “It’s as big as any other World Cup final from another format,”

He concluded, “When you qualify for a WTC final, it means a lot to those who are only playing in Tests.”

Therefore, it’s going to be a tough final for India with conditions at Southampton expected to be more seam-friendly, and more suited to New Zealand.

New Zealand pace bowlers had routed India in seaming conditions at home in the two Tests played at the start of 2020.

Cheteshwar in an interview said that the team has learned from those defeats and will be ready this time.

The interviewer asked him that does this final has a different meaning for those in the team who play only Tests?

He answered that it does, as there is a lot to play for when it comes to Test cricket now. When you are qualifying for a WTC final, it means a lot to those who are only playing Tests. Not just us, to everyone in the team. They also understand the value of Test cricket. It’s as big as any other World Cup final, T20 or ODI.
