There is still excitement in the final of the World Test Championship being played between India and New Zealand, with only a few overs left to play. Chasing the target of 139 runs from India, the New Zealand team scored 19 runs without any loss till the tea break. On the other hand, if New Zealand wants to win this match, then 120 more will have to be made. The interesting thing is that the match is in the sixth day and it will end after some time, but still all three results seem possible. Team India can win if they take early wickets. On the other hand, if the team of New Zealand can win if they score fast, there is every possibility of the match being drawn. Till the tea break, both the New Zealand openers are still at the crease. Tom Latham is unbeaten on five and Devon Conway on 9. There is still 45 overs left to play.
