I. C. C. Cricket Test championship final for 2019 to 2021 is to be played between finalists India and New Zealand at neutral venue Southampton, England from 18th June to 22nd June. Finalists are 2 top ranking teams in test matches played between 2019 to 2021.
India were no.1 while New Zealand were no. 2 until last week when New Zealand became no.1 after beating England in 2 test match series.
India always struggled playing cricket in England due to excessive swing the weather condition there provides to seam bowlers. While New Zealand are at home playing in England as they enjoy similar weather conditions at home. To add to this New Zealand got good match practice playing 2 test match series against formidable England side. India players on other hand had to undergo 14 day quarantine and had to be satisfied playing cricket inter squad.
India however have a talented young squad and bounce back to surprise favourite New Zealand. They can take comfort in the past experience of winning 1983 world cup when they were least expected to win.

Good analysis bro, but this time we will make it easy. We do have a good fast bowling unit heading with Bumrah and shami seems lethal combo in england pitch. lower order covered with pant and jaddu (as they both don't care about the conditions and pitches they play their own aggressive game) it's not easy for any team to compete.
