Heavy-Scoring Indians Have Edge Over New Zealand Batsmen In WTC

By IANS News June 14, 2021 • 12:34 PM View: 2170

With less than a week to go before the start of the World Test Championship (WTC) final, the Indian batting unit looks better and more experienced than its New Zealand counterpart in the WTC. While India have as many as five batsmen among top 15 top scorers in the tournament, New Zealand have none.

New Zealand's batting mainstay, skipper Kane Williamson, is the highest placed, at 16th in the list with 817 runs scored at 58.35. Part of the reason why he is so low in the run-getters' list is because he has played just nine matches as against the Indians above him in the list who have played many more games.
