The best part about today's game has been the Royal Pigeon who's been chilling his way around the silly point region on a warm British afternoon as the action rolls on #WTC21 #WTCFinal #WTCFinal2021 #indiaVsNewZealand #India #INDvNZ #CricketLive

As for the clash, while pacers Mohammed Shami, Tim Southee, and Kyle Jamieson made the red cherry talk, batsmen like Kane Williamson, Devon Conway, and Ajinkya Rahane showcased remarkable resilience.
The game started off as an exciting note but soon ended in a dreaded situation as the first day was completely washed out. The second day saw only 64.4 overs being bowled while the third day was the longest so far with 76.3 overs being bowled by both the teams together.
Unfortunately, Day four of the WTC Final was also abandoned due to persistent rain. India went to stumps on Day 5 at 64 for 2, leading New Zealand by 32 runs. Now the reserve day will come into force with the lost hours to be played on Day 6 - June 23.
