The qualification scenario for the WTC final is becoming interesting. Sri Lanka vs New Zealand series is also adding to the context. On that note, here, we take a look as Indian fans support New Zealand hilariously as the Kiwis win over Sri Lanka will confirm WTC final spot for India.
New Zealand win or draw will guarantee a WTC final spot for the Indians
India is on the brink of qualification for the finals of WTC 2023. They need to win the ongoing game at Ahmedabad or they would want New Zealand to avoid a 2-0 defeat to Sri Lanka at home. At the moment, the result from Sri Lanka is likely to come faster than from the game in India.
After Australia started well, India also responded well with the bat. However, the hosts have a few issues. Shreyas Iyer has some issues with the back and has gone for scans. It is not sure if he would come to bat at his expected position. Already, KS Bharat has come to the crease after the fall of Ravindra Jadeja’s wicket. R Ashwin and Axar Patel will also have to do well with the willow to help India stay undefeated in the encounter.
New Zealand has a target of 285 to win the game. The match could also end in a draw as there is rainfall predicted tomorrow. Hence, Indian fans are watching the game with interest.
Indian fans start supporting the Kiwis
It was New Zealand that defeated India in the first edition of the finals of the World Test Championship. Although India still has fate in their hands, small support from New Zealand could help the men in blue further. Now, the Kiwis are in a situation where they could either win the game or lose the encounter against Sri Lanka. Hence, there were plenty of Indian fans who started supporting the Kiwis on social media. Here is a look at some of them:
