As we have seen in the past few years, India dominates in the Test Cricket by defeating Australia in their home twice and keeping their position in Top 3 from last five years. Therefore, it can easily be recognized that India is the most favourable contender to lift the WTC trophy.
However, the new Indian Team looks very different as India's biggest weakness is now fulfilled: their Fast bowling and Middle order. In fast bowling, the Team came with five options that are J. Bumrah, Ishant Sharma, Mohd. Siraj, Mohd. Shami and Umesh Yadav, whereas India was a perfect middle order due to the duo of young talent and experience that is Rishab Pant and Ajinkya Rahane. Adding to that, Ravindra Jadeja and R. Ashwin will also be favourite players to boost the strength of the middle order.
On the other hand, the New Zealand team is also a solid contender in this race to grab the WTC trophy. The New Zealand team hand a marvellous fast bowling attack and experienced Batsman like Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor and Tom Latham. They further enriched young talents like Will Young and Devon Conway.
Therefore, the clash between two Cricket giants will be marvellous as both the teams can defeat the solid sides for that purpose; they have very well proven it in their last few series or games.
Possible Playing XI:
Virat Kohli (C), Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Cheteshvar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Rishab Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, R. Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Ishant Sharma.
