T20 World Cup: Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has weighed in on the high-stakes clash between defending champions India and New Zealand and labelled the hosts as the heavy favourites to defend their crown, saying, "ICC events are now part of India’s DNA."

India and New Zealand are set to lock horns in the T20 World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, with India standing on the cusp of a record third title, while New Zealand eyes its maiden crown.

"I think India has the home advantage. ICC events are now part of India’s DNA; they either reach the final or keep winning. This is a big change we’ve seen in the Indian team over the last 4–5 years," Latif told IANS on Sunday.
