WTC Final 2021 Predictions

[SteveNZ]

Draw (it's going to piss down for a lot of this Test)
Most runs for NZ: Williamson
Most runs for India: Rahane
Most wickets for NZ: Jamieson
Most wickets for India: Bumrah
Man of the match (not sure if they name them in rain-affected draws?): Bumrah
Biggest failure: England's climate
Other predictions: a) We will all be flat as a biscuit after day after day of covers on, covers off.

c) It won't feel the same to either nation being joint winners without a proper contest.

It won't feel the same to either nation being joint winners without a proper contest.

I hope it does not become like the ICC Champions Trophy 2002.

We all know Draw is a proper result in tests, sure.

Most Wickets for NZ: Jamieson
Most Wickets for India: Ashwin
Man of the Match: Kohli (or rain)

[trundler]

NZ
Williamson
Rahane
Southee
Ashwin
Southee

Most Wickets for NZ: Southee
Most Wickets for India: Bumrah
Man of the Match: Kohli

[CricAddict]

India to win by an innings

Most runs for NZ: Southee
Most runs for India: Kohli
Most wickets for NZ: run-outs
Most wickets for India: Bumrah
Man of the match : Ravindra Jadeja with an all-round performance
Biggest failure: Conway
Other predictions:

a) Rain to miraculously stop after the first day and let play continue in rest of the days
b) Being the nice guy, Kane Williamson to not claim a catch that he clearly held and doesn't go for a review. Recalled Kohli gets to a mighty century and the Kiwi posters to pile it up on Williamson
c) Doom and Gloom thread to be started for NZ post this match
d) Shami gets injured again (I don't wish to. But have got fed up of this happening again and again that it is almost predictable now)

[OverratedSanity]

Result: NZ Correct
Most Runs for NZ: Conway KW got more runs but Conway had the highest innings score so Ill cheat and give myself half a point here
Most Runs for India: Rahane Correct
Most Wickets for NZ: Jamieson Correct
Most Wickets for India: Ashwin Correct
Man of the Match: Jamieson Correct
Biggest Failures: Gill Nope. He wasnt good but definitely not as bad as Bumrah/Pujara
Other Predictions: Kohli will drop atleast one catch in the slips. Commentators will say its surprising that such a good fielder dropped an easy catch.: Nope. Actually shocked that this didnt happen

5.5/8

Not bad
