Ind vs NZ Live Score, Champions Trophy 2025 Final: A memorable tournament will come to its conclusion today as India and New Zealand Lock Horns try to raise the ICC Champions Trophy to mitigate amazing performances in the last three weeks. This tournament has not been free of controversy, which started months before the first ball was even bowled, and remains through the tournament. But with controversy comes plenty of passion and drama, and with India that has been at the heart of it, there is no doubt that this is a group of players who will be hungry to make it two ICC tournaments in a row and get that particular monkey from their backs.… Read more

Dubai will host this match, a earth and a surface that has not seen as much explosive run scoring as the reasons in Pakistan, and has enabled spin to play much more of a factor. Of course, these two teams have already played each other under these conditions, just a week before this final. Although there was no risk of elimination on the line, there will be a lot that both teams will remove from India’s 44-run victory on the day, especially a New Zealand batting effort that threatened to break away and get the hunt but just got short.

India vs new zealand head-to-head in ODIs:

Matches the game: 119

India won: 61

New Zealand won: 50

Tied: 1

No result: 7

Add to this their new ball success that fasten India back with the crucial early wickets of Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, there is plenty for the Kiwis to be sure to go into this match. One could expect India to not rely on a rescue job from them like Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel to come well every time, especially in a high-pressure situation as a final-but at the same time, to have such a capable players in stock, not to mention Kl Rahul, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja, give a terrible amount of confidence in some confidence in some confidence in some confidence in a batting team. Nevertheless, the senior players are expected to step up at the top.

The bowling lineup will continue to be the four-man spin rotation that saw them squash mid-over’s fightbacks from both the Kiwis and Australia. It has been something of a master stroke of Gautam Gambhir, to sacrifice wickets early and at the top of laps to exercise control through the middle part of the match, where India can attack almost constantly and retreat in the game, even from a weaker position.

India probably XI vs. New Zealand Champions Trophy Final:

Openers: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill

Middle order: Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Kl Rahul (Wicketkeeper)

All Rounds: Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja

Spinners: KoldeP Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy

Pacer: Mohammed Shami

New Zealand probably XI vs New Zealand Champions Trophy Final:

Openers: Will young, rachin ravindra

Middle order: Kane Williamson, Tom Latham (WK), Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips

All Rounds: Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (C), Kyle Jamieson,

Pacers: William O’Rourke, Nathan Smith

What will be interesting to see is how New Zealand fights this, especially with the form that Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson show, as well as cushion of Tom Latham and the hit power against Spin from Daryl Mitchell behind them. Rachin is in red -hot form and has probably been the best dough in this tournament so far, showing all his talent and the ability to score running: If India is unable to remove him early, he will be able to get used to the pace of this wicket and start scoring races with purpose. On the bowling front, India also needs a way to fight Mitchell Santner, who has been sensational this tournament in almost a hand in controlling the mid-over-scoring frequency, and Michael Bracewell, who has also played his role for perfection.

India starts this match as the heavy heavy favorites to lift the trophy at the end of it, on the honor of being the best and most balanced team on paper, but also have the certain advantage of having set up camp in Dubai for almost a month, a veritable holiday compared to the creepy itinerary for the Kiwis. But with three full days between the semi -finals and the final, the Kiwis will not be looking for excuses: They know they are able to pull the underdog gains, especially against India, and will see this as a first -class opportunity to play spoilsport and finally get their hands on a limited overlord’s ICC trophy, for the first time in a quarter century.

This match is by no means open-and-shut with regard to the possible winner. It promises to be a saliva competition, full of ebbs and streams, and all the excitement and excitement can be hoped from a cup final. Up to the players now to deliver.
