About This nation won the inaugural edition of the World Test Championship, by beating which side in the final?
The inaugural edition of the World Test Championship was held from August 2019 to June 2021. It involved nine of the top-ranked test-playing nations: India, Australia, New Zealand, England, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, West Indies, and Bangladesh.
The teams played a total of 71 test matches across 27 series during the championship, with each team playing six series – three at home and three away. The top two teams in the points table at the end of the league phase contested the final at the Rose Bowl in Southampton, England.
New Zealand emerged as the champions of the inaugural edition, defeating India in the final by eight wickets. The Blackcaps finished as the top-ranked team in the league phase with seven wins, four draws, and one loss, while India finished second with five wins, three draws, and two losses.
The World Test Championship was created by the International Cricket Council (ICC) as a way to give more context to test cricket and to determine the best test team in the world. The second edition of the championship is scheduled to be held from July 2021 to June 2023, with the same nine teams participating.
