India vs New Zealand ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final: India and New Zealand, two of the best teams in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, will take on each other in the final. Both these teams have lived up to the standard of being billed as among favourites and now, stand just one win away from lifting the coveted title. The India national cricket team, by far, has had a 100% win record in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, securing victories in all their group matches and it was followed by a wonderful performance against Australia in the semi-final, the highlight of which was a chasing masterclass from Virat Kohli. Rohit Sharma and his men have been equally good in all three departments and will aim at dishing out another solid performance and win what would be a third ICC Champions Trophy title.

New Zealand by no means can be underestimated. The Black Caps and his men have played quality cricket all throughout the tournament and arguably their best performance came against South Africa in the semi-final where centuries from Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson helped them set a massive total and later, the bowlers led by captain Mitchell Santner thwarted the South Africa batters and took the team over the line, despite a fighting century from David Miller. New Zealand will now look to overcome heavyweights India and have their name registered as one of the forces to be reckoned with, in world cricket.

The India national cricket team had come out on top the last time these two teams met in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The Group A clash saw Varun Chakaravarthy run through the New Zealand national cricket team's batting order, registering a five-wicket haul and stamping his authority on the competition. While India are expected to field an unchanged playing XI from their victory over Australia in the semi-final, the same cannot be said for New Zealand who are sweating on Matt Henry's injury. The most experienced fast bowler in the New Zealand national cricket team's participation in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final is doubtful as per reports and Jacob Duffy has been kept as his standby. Will the outcome be the same once again or would New Zealand find a way to tackle India's spin threat in Dubai?
