Will Be Tricky To Finalize Bowling Department For WTC Final, Says New Zealand's Kane Williamson

By IANS News June 18, 2021 • 12:01 PM View: 2156

Hours before the start of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against India at the Ageas Bowl here, New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson said his team would be focusing on its main strength - bowling - when it takes on the Virat Kohli-led side on Friday.

In a video posted on the International Cricket Council (ICC) website, Williams said on Friday that, "For us we want to focus on the cricket that we want to play. It's important to our team to go out there and enjoy the occasion. A number of guys that have been playing well, same bowlers that have been contributing really well for a period of time, which is great," said Williamson, indicating that the New Zealand fast-bowling battery will come hard at India over the next few days.
