There could be some bad news for the players of the Indian cricket team, which recently lost the WTC final in Southampton. As per the original schedule, the BCCI had allowed cricketers to travel and travel to England with their spouses or families, but with the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in the country, this is likely to be cancelled. The first of the five-match Test series against England has a 20-day gap before India.
“We are monitoring the situation and will take a decision if the situation worsens,” Secretary Arun Dhumal told Inside Sport. Cases of Kovid-19 have suddenly increased in England, so far about 10,000 people have been infected by it.
Meanwhile, the Black Caps kept their composure to take home their first major International Cricket Council (ICC) title after suffering two back-to-back defeats at the 2015 and 2019 World Cups respectively at the hands of Australia and England.
Chasing a total of 139 runs to win the final day, New Zealand won the match with eight wickets to spare. During New Zealand’s second innings, India’s spin wizard R Ashwin removed both his openers Tom Latham (9 off 41 balls) and Devon Conway (19 off 47 balls) to reduce the Kiwis to 44-2. After that, the experienced duo of Williamson and Ross Taylor took the team to a comfortable victory without any interruption. While Williamson scored an unbeaten 52 off 89 balls, Taylor scored 47 runs in 100 balls.
Ace seamer Kyle Jamieson shines with the ball for New Zealand. He took five wickets in the first innings and two in the second innings. Jamieson also took the wicket of the dreaded Kohli in both the innings. For India, wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant scored 41 runs in 88 balls in the second innings.
After winning the WTC title, Williamson said in a post-match presentation that “it’s a very special feeling.” He also paid tribute to a “formidable” Indian team for their performance.
