A Tall Order On 6th Day Of WTC Final

By IANS News June 23, 2021 • 16:19 PM View: 2887

Theoretically, either India or New Zealand could still force victory in the final of the inaugural World Test Championship -- labelled as "The Ultimate Test" by the governors of the game, the International Cricket Council.

If the sun, which finally appeared in a reasonable manner on the 5th day on Tuesday, continues to pierce the clouds on 6th and final day (which had fortunately been kept in reserve), batting conditions should become easier. But that means even if this facilitates India to set a sporting target, it is difficult to visualise them bundling out New Zealand on effectively the same wicket.
