WORLD TEST CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL PREVIEW: INDIA VS NEW ZEALAND

Here comes the most awaited match this year, India vs New Zealand the final of the 1st ever WORLD TEST CHAMPIONSHIP! Now let us start the preview by looking at the probable 11 for both sides.

Probable 11 for Team India:

Rohit Sharma
Shubman Gill
Virat Kohli (C)
Ajinkya Rahane
Cheteshwar Pujara
Rishabh Pant (WK)
Ravindra Jadeja
Ravichandran Ashwin
Mohammad Shami
Ishant Sharma
Jasprit Bumrah

Okay, I know some of you maybe wondering why I put Ishant Sharma instead Mohammad Siraj in the team. The main reason why I have put Ishant is because he has played in England more than Siraj therefore he has the experience and will be very useful to the team in pressure situations.

Probable 11 for Team New Zealand:

Tom Latham
Devon Conway
Kane Williamson
Ross Taylor
Henry Nicholls
BJ. Watling
Kyle Jamieson
Tim Southee
Neil Wagner
Ajaz Patel
Trent Boult

Rivalry To Watch Out: Kohli Vs Southee

Southee has picked up 51 wickets in his WTC campaign and he is the only bowler to dismiss Kohli ten times across all formats.

Kohli vs Southee in Tests:

Runs	109
Balls	214
Dismissals	3
4s/6s	16/1

If you look at this table Tim Southee has got the better of Virat Kohli. Getting him out 3 times in 5 tests.

We pick New Zealand to win the Final. Both teams have quality players, but because India has a bad record at Southampton and New Zealand have just won their first series on English soil since 1999. And the black caps are the only team to have beaten India during their WTC campaign.

I am not saying that India doesn’t have a chance, yes they do have a chance but New Zealand has a bigger chance because they won a series right before the WTC final so they have more practice.
