With a historic series win in the bag, New Zealand now look to further assert themselves by winning the third Test in Mumbai, beginning Friday, and turn their unassailable 2-0 lead into a clean sweep to continue their climb in the World Test Championship (WTC) table.
India, Australia, Sri Lanka and New Zealand are the four teams in the fray to qualify for the WTC final, which is scheduled for June next year at Lord's in London. Top two teams at the end of the two-year cycle play the final.
