Result Likely In WTC Final, As No Team Having Edge

World Test Championship Final: The final of the ICC World Test Championship being played between India and New Zealand has become very exciting. There is now only 98 overs left in the match but the hope of the result has awakened. By the end of the fifth day's play, India scored 64 for two in the second innings and took a lead of 32 runs so far.

Earlier, New Zealand's first innings was bundled out for 249 runs and they took a lead of 32 runs. Till the stumps, Cheteshwar Pujara 12 runs off 55 balls with the help of two fours and captain Virat Kohli 8 runs off 12 balls are present at the crease. Tim Southee has got two wickets for New Zealand so far.

Earlier, after bowling out New Zealand in the first innings, the Indian team, who came out to bat, did not start well and returned to the pavilion on the score of Shubman Gill (8). After this, Rohit Sharma continued the innings with Pujara but he too lost his wicket on the Southee delivery. Rohit scored 30 runs in 81 balls with the help of two fours.

Result can still come out

The fourth day's match between India and New Zealand was washed out due to rain and stumps were declared without a single ball being played. The start of the match was delayed due to rain today. The first day's play was also interrupted due to rain, due to which Wednesday has been kept as a reserve day for this match.

There is a possibility of getting the result on Reserve Day now. The hold of both the teams on the match is almost equal. If India gives New Zealand a target of about 200 runs in 45 or 50 overs today, then they can make a little chance for themselves. On the other hand, if New Zealand bundles out India for 150 runs in the reserve day, then they have a good chance of registering a win.
