"It marked the culmination..." this sentence uses "tournament" three times... repetitive.
Replaced the middle one with "events", I don't think the two remaining uses is excessive? Harriastalk 17:29, 1 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Probably worth noting in the lead that the two had played each other in the round robin and (somewhat appropriately) it was one of the ties you mention.
Need to work out the wording on this one. Harriastalk 17:29, 1 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Nah mate. Seriously, I ummed and ahhed about whether it was due or undue to include them in the lead, and then also couldn't quite work out where to put it. Along with the point above. I think I mentioned before that I'm rubbish at leads! Will give it a bit of thought. Harriastalk 18:45, 1 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Interestingly, given your note below about the possible increase in spectators due to Bird, it could go there. But I'm happy to go without it. If you find something reliable that mentions that Bird's presence made a difference, I'd add the umps to the lead. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 21:07, 1 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

"Hosts New Zealand score 26 points, India got 16, " -> "Hosts New Zealand scored 26 points, India 16, "
Changed as suggested. Harriastalk 17:29, 1 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"in Christchurch, New Zealand on" comma after NZ.
Changed as suggested. Harriastalk 17:29, 1 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"and the famous English" remove "famous".
I've removed it, but I might add it back in later with more information. There are some suggestions (though unfair, I think) that he drew more crowds than the cricket. Harriastalk 17:29, 1 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
