New Zealand's journey to the WTC Final

New Zealand team lead by Kane Williamson had to face some tough opponents in their journey to the WTC Final. However, their excellent home record ensured the Black Caps makes it to the final. New Zealand was the first team to qualify for the World Test Championship Final.

But, the journey was not great from the start.

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand (1-1)

Australia vs New Zealand (3-0)

This time Kane could not ensure any points from a terrifying tour to down under. They were not only beaten but also humiliated by the much stronger Australian side. The hope of making it to the final started looking impossible after that huge defeat.

Then there came the home series for them.

New Zealand vs India (2-0)

India always struggled against the black caps in New Zealand. Therefore, it was Kane's biggest chance to get back to the competition of the Test Championship. They beat India 2-0 to grab full points from the series.

New Zealand vs West Indies (2-0)

They looked confident after their huge win against India. Therefore, the West Indies challenge seemed to be much easier for them. Kane's team beat the West Indies team 2-0 to go up the ladder in the World Test Championship table.

But till that position, the road to final was not ensured yet for them. However, as the South Africa vs Australia Test series got cancelled, they only needed to make sure they beat the Pakistani team in their home series.

New Zealand vs Pakistan (2-0)

To get to the top of the table they needed to beat the Pakistan team. A power-packed performance from the captain himself and young pacer Jamieson made sure they beat the Pakistani team 2-0 to got the top of the Test Championship table.

But, they had to wait till the Australia-India series to be the first team to qualify for the WTC Final.

India's journey to the WTC Final

India vs South Africa (3-0)

With the spin attack India has, they are quite a tough opponent to beat at their home. South Africa toured India for some away points. However, Kohli lead India made sure they get 100% of the points from the series with a 3-0 win over them. Kohli, Mayank Agarwal and Rohit Sharma all struck double tons in their batting-friendly conditions in India.

India vs Bangladesh (2-0)

Bangladesh was hopeful to give better competition to India with their better spin attack. But, the plans never took place on the ground. India beat them comprehensively with a 2-0 margin where India also played their first-ever pink test at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

Then came the away series and some tougher opponnets.

New Zealand vs India (2-0)

India vs England (3-1)
