India National Cricket Team vs New Zealand National Cricket Team (IND vs NZ) Live Score, Champions Trophy 2025 Final: India are into another ICC white-ball final – their third inside two years. New Zealand are playing in their third ICC final in six years (fourth in nearly a decade). India have often run into New Zealand at these global events and lost to them four times in the last eight ICC tournaments. Rohit Sharma and his troops know very well that if there’s one team they should be wary of in the Champions Trophy final, it’s New Zealand. India, unbeaten so far, have smartly used the Dubai conditions to their advantage by packing their playing XI with spinners. New Zealand have spinners of their own to challenge India. They have played each other in the ongoing tournament before and India, riding on a Varun Chakaravarthy’s five-wicket haul, sealed a comfortable victory.
But that was a group game. This is the final – a stage where skills matter as much as ability to control nerves. Both India and New Zealand have been at this stage quite often in recent past to know what it takes to cross the final hurdle. As per various reports, the pitch that was used for the India-Pakistan Group A clash will be used for the final as well. Expect spinners to play the decisive role.
