Both Virat and Santner have had brilliant CT 2025 campaigns.

Champions Trophy Final: ‘Spin Battle’ To Decide India vs New Zealand Title Showdown

Champions Trophy Final: ‘Spin Battle’ To Decide India vs New Zealand Title Showdown

Published by Webster

India and New Zealand, the top modern-day giants, will fight for Champions Trophy glory in front of a sold-out crowd at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. The two sides last met in a Champions Trophy final at Nairobi in the 2000 final. Chris Cairns hammered an unbeaten century to chase India’s modest 265-run target and lift the coveted accolade. Twenty-five years have passed, and a lot has changed in how both sides have dominated the ICC tournaments. India shared the title with Sri Lanka in 2002 and a decade later secured the title under ‘Captain Cool’ MS Dhoni. On the other hand, Kiwis have appeared on the hunting ground but returned empty-handed on every occasion. After 25 years, the Blackcaps stand just one victory away from ending their ICC trophy drought. Dubai has been the perfect playground for captain Rohit Sharma and his troops. The spinners have dominated the proceedings for India, especially after the inclusion of mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy in its playing XI. The seasoned ball tweaker was introduced …

Champions Trophy Final: Weather And Pitch Report For India vs New Zealand Clash

Published by Webster

Dubai’s scorching heat and spin-friendly surface will play a crucial role as India and New Zealand lock horns in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. With temperatures expected to hover around 32 degree Celsius, captains will have a tough call to make at the toss, as teams have preferred chasing under the afternoon sun. However, with minimal dew at the venue so far, batting first might not be a disadvantage if the team can put a competitive total on the board. The Dubai pitch has proven to be a spinner’s ally throughout the tournament, assisting turn and making stroke-play difficult once the ball softens. The Powerplay has been the best time to bat, with the new ball coming onto the bat nicely. But as the innings progresses, batters have had to take time to adjust to the sluggish nature of the surface. The final is expected to follow a similar pattern, making early aggression and middle-over consolidation key to success. India, unbeaten in the tournament, will …
