WTC: Who has the upper hand in India-New Zealand and who will win the final, this legend told everything

Former Australia pacer Brett Lee believes that New Zealand may have an upper hand over India in the World Test Championship (WTC) final to be held in Southampton as the Kiwis are more used to playing in conditions conducive to swing bowling. Let us tell you that this historic match is to be played between India and New Zealand from June 18. The Indian team arrived in England on Thursday while the New Zealand team is currently playing a two-Test series against the hosts.

Lee told the ICC's official website, 'I think both the teams are similar. However, I am looking forward to playing in similar conditions at home in New Zealand. "Conditions can be favorable for fast bowlers, swing bowlers. So here I think the Kiwi team can benefit.

Lee said, 'As far as batting is concerned, both the teams have batsmen who can play swing bowling. But I think the role of the bowlers will be important and whichever team bowls well will emerge victorious in the final. The final will also see a contest between the different captaincy styles of Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson, which Lee called interesting.

The veteran fast bowler said, 'Kane is a more conservative captain. He has a good understanding of cricket. I am impressed by his calmness. He is a conservative captain but also attacks when needed. He has patience and it works for him and his team.

Lee said, 'If you look at Kohli, he is an aggressive captain. There is no right or wrong answer in both cases as I have played with both conservative and aggressive captains. "It will be interesting to see who tops the two as they have different styles," he added.
