All eyes are on
india vs
new zealand WTC finals and the ultimate test
championship begins on
june 18th at Southampton. Former
indian pacer
ashish Nehra predicted Kohli's men are a strong bowling unit and the pacers from both sides will play a crucial role as the
english condition suits them. However,
india should be worried as there has been a lack of preparation time ahead of the World Test
championship finals.
But
new zealand will play two-test series against
england and that means they will play three tests within a span of 20 days. It is not clear as to what would happen if the match fails to get a result in 5 days' time. Though the initial rules suggested that the
event could have joint-winners if the match fails to get a result. The weather conditions are also expected to get tricky during the passage of play.
But now, ICC is looking at the playing conditions and weather conditions and they are thinking about ruling the 6th day coming into the picture if there is any loss in the number of playing hours over the first five days. The match has to be played out in the 30 hours in the first five days and the reserve day would come into play if the 30 hours were not played in the first five days.
