KABUL (Pajwok): New Zealand beat India by eight wickets in the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) final at Southampton on Wednesday.
Two years on from their agonising Super Over loss to England in the 50-over World Cup final at Lord’s, the Blackcaps claimed their first major global title.
Set a modest target of 139 in 53 overs, New Zealand finished on 140-2 with plenty of time to spare in a match extended into a reserve sixth day following two days lost to rain.
Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin reduced New Zealand to 44-2 by removing openers Tom . . .
