Champions Trophy 2025 Final: New Zealand defeated South Africa in the second semi -final match on Wednesday and made it to the Champions Trophy final. Now the title match between India and New Zealand (India vs New Zealand final) will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, March 9. India is a powerful contestant in this match. Let’s tell you that there is more potential because Rohit Sharma and Team will wash New Zealand in the final and give the title name.
Started with 8 teams Champions Trophy India and New Zealand were in the same squad in 2025. There was a clash between the two on March 2, where Team India won. However, both teams had earlier confirmed their place in the semi -final. There are 3 major reasons except this match, which explains why Team India is a powerful competitor to take the title on March 9th.
India’s record is better in the head
India’s record is good in ODI cricket against New Zealand. In India vs New Zealand, ODIs have played a total of 5 matches so far. Of these, India won 615 matches and won five matches New Zealand. If you look at the last 20 matches between these two, India won these 12 matches. New Zealand won 6 matches and 2 were unseen.
Spinners are also strong in India’s Dubai Pitch’s support
Rohit Sharma and his team were the biggest reason for winning the matches so far. India was playing with the first 2 fast bowlers but fed 4 spinners against New Zealand. India also defeated Australia to play five in the semi -final.
New Zealand has a spinner bowler as Captain Mitchell Santner. It would not be wrong to call Rachin Rabindra and Glenn Phillips a part of the timer. Dubai pitch has a lot of assistance for spinners. In this case, India is strong, which will have a big impact on the outcome of the match.
India’s experience in Dubai is even greater
New Zealand won 2 matches in Pakistan in Pakistan, then came to Dubai to play against India. India defeated him in Dubai. After that, New Zealand also won the semi -final in Pakistan. In fact, playing shots on Pakistan’s pitch is easier than Dubai. Certainly Williamson and Rachin Rabindra Gaddafi achieved a century at the Stadium but could not play a big innings in Dubai with this method.
Great kohli If he scored 5 runs in the semi -final, only four hit it, because they have now begun to understand the behavior of these ground and pitch. Fit explosive batsmen like Derrill Michelle, Glenn Phillips will be difficult to walk slowly as Dubai. In such a situation, India’s batting looks stronger here.
