I think it&#39;s going to be close. Just as New Zealand respects India, as a fan, I will respect India, knowing how good they are and the fighting spirit they have,&quot; McCullum told Sports Today.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I think we are in for a ripping World Test Championship final. May the best team win and the best game,&quot; said the former wicketkeeper-batsman, who played 101 Tests and a member of the triple Test centurions&#39; club.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I think 60-40 in favour of New Zealand. It&#39;s going to be close.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While the 20-member New Zealand squad is in England preparing for the two-Test series against the hosts before the WTC final, the Indian team is currently in quarantine in Mumbai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Following the WTC final, India will also play a five-Test series against England in August-September.<\/p>\r\n",
