Preview

The Final of the Champions Trophy 2025 will see India locking horns with New Zealand, at the Dubai International Stadium, on Sunday, March 9. India and New Zealand have faced each other 119 times in One Day Internationals (ODIs). India has won 61 matches, while New Zealand has secured 50 victories. One match ended in a tie, and seven had no result. The last time these two sides met earlier in CT, India beat New Zealand in the final group stage match by 44 runs and are unbeaten from Group A with three wins in three matches. India beat Australia in the 1st Semi Final while New Zealand beat South Africa in the 2nd Semi Final. This should be a closely fought game.  

Match Expert Tips

The captain and vice-captains have been selected keeping the venue in mind. The Dubai International Stadium in Dubai is expected to assist the spinners throughout the game. There will be some help for the pacers as well and batting will be easier with the new ball as evident in the previous game. Both teams are stacked with some great bowlers and we will try to cover as many bowlers and all-rounders.
