WTC Final, Probable Playing XI: India Takes On New Zealand In The Battle Of Pace Bowlers

By IANS News June 17, 2021 • 15:09 PM View: 1609

India, boosted by the sun that has been drying the Hampshire Bowl pitch over the past few days, will hope to dent their biggest threat, New Zealand's swing bowlers, in the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) final that commences on Friday.

But unlike the Kiwis, who beat England 1-0 in a two-Test series this month, India are devoid of any match practice here and will head into a game of magnitude without any competitive match practice. Virat Kohli's men, therefore, will have to recall all the past experience of playing in England.
