What happens if India vs New Zealand WTC Finals ends in a draw or a tie?

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has already made it clear that if the WTC Final ends in a draw or a tie, then both the teams will be declared joint winners.

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.
