Xtra Time Web Desk: New Zealand stand in captain Tom Latham on Sunday said their focus now shifts to the ICC World Test Championship Final next week against India. BlackCaps scripted a memorable series win over England after 22 years courtesy their 8 wickets win at Edgbaston test match.
“Great to have that performance under the belt. A few changes, but the guys came in and did really well. Great for New Zealand cricket. For us, it’s about them playing the roles they were given. Matt Henry hasn’t had a lot of opportunities and he was brilliant. For us, it’s about trying to keep it simple and play the way we’ve been playing over the last two years. We put some good numbers on the board,” said Latham after the match concluded.
“It’s a great honor and nice to learn as a captain. A big challenge coming up in a week’s time and the boys are looking forward to celebrate tonight. It’s a special occasion for us. The atmosphere here is amazing,” he added.
New Zealand chased down the target of 38 runs comfortably, losing the wickets of Conway and Will Young. Kane Williamson and co wll head into that WTC Final lot more confident.
