2. ICC World Test Championship Final, 2021 - (NZ won)
Both sides had to wait for 21 years before they could face each other for a second time in a major ICC tournament’s final.
Played during the heights of the COVID-19 pandemic at the Utilita Bowl in Southampton, New Zealand came out on top to win the inaugural World Test Championship title at India’s expense. Chasing a mere 139 in the second innings, the Kiwis could get there with eight wickets in hand.
India had some hope of winning the game when New Zealand were 44 for 2. However, the experienced heads of skipper Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor took their side to clinch their second finals victory over India.
Kyle Jamieson, however, was awarded the Player of the Match after taking seven wickets in the game, including a five-wicket haul in the first innings.
