The WTC concept was introduced to add interest to bilateral Test series. Teams play different series under WTC and eventually top two sides qualify for the final. Just like we have World Cup for ODIs and T20Is, the WTC is equivalent to these mega events.

Interestingly the 50-over World Cup in 2019 saw England emerge victorious on boundary count after the Super Over ended in a tie. So, is there going to be a winner in case the India vs New Zealand WTC final ends in a draw?

What Happens if WTC Final Ends in a Draw?

If the WTC final between India and England ends in a draw we will have joint winners. The trophy will be shared in that case and we won’t any tie-breaker. But in case, if time is lost due to rains, which is often the case with the England weather, there is a reserve day in place. So the play time lost due to bad weather can be compensated on reserve day.
