New Zealand Playing 11 for WTC Final: Have New Zealand announced Playing XI for WTC Final vs India at Rose Bowl?

New Zealand Playing 11 for WTC Final: New Zealand have some pondering to do in the bowling department ahead of the WTC Final 2021.

Under Kane Williamson, New Zealand would be playing their second final match of an ICC event in England in the last two years. Although no one, especially fans, would mind the final match of the inaugural ICC World Test Championship to be as intriguing as the Cricket World cup 2019 final, the Black Caps would be hoping for a better ending this time round.

New Zealand would be banking on the fact that they most recently defeated England 1-0 in a two-match Test series. The fact that they beat England with an almost second-string side speaks highly about their prowess as a Test squad.

Having won only six out of their 56 Test matches in England, New Zealand don’t have the best of records in English conditions. However, they would be confident regarding the fact that they have won two out of their last three Tests in England.
