(Reuters) - An upbeat New Zealand will take on an undercooked India aiming to become test cricket's first official world champions when they clash in the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) final in Southampton from Friday.

The one-off match at the Rose Bowl marks the culmination of a two-year cycle of the WTC, which was launched in 2019 to create test cricket's own pinnacle event.
