New Zealand team defeated India in the final of the World Test Championship held in the same year.
Weaknesses and strengths of both teams
Indian team has great batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul. Apart from this, there are experienced bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who can change the course of the match.

Talking about the bowling, apart from Trent Boult, Tim Southee, the trio of spinner Ish Sodhi can create trouble for the Indian batsmen.
