Meanwhile, India vs New Zealand World Test Championship is heading towards becoming the best sad story of 2021 due to the constant rain delays. There were just 141 overs bowled till the end of Day 4. The constant delays have led to this match heading in the direction of a draw.
If the WTC final gets washed out by rain and ends without any result, then both India and New Zealand teams will be declared joint winners. The winning prize money will be divided equally between both the teams. 12 lakh dollars (INR 8.78 crore) each, will be given to both India and New Zealand.
