IND vs NZ Live Streaming in USA: Rohit Sharma-led India will lock horns with Mitchell Santner-led New Zealand to play the FINAL of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on March 09 in Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.
Speaking of the venue, pacers and spinners have bagged 30 wickets each in the Champions Trophy matches in Dubai. Pacers have had more success in the first innings (22) while spinners have bagged 14 and 16 wickets respectively in the two innings.
Undoubtedly, Spinners have played a key role in New Zealand’s success so far in this Champions Trophy. New Zealand’s spinners have picked up 15 wickets collectively in the matches against Pakistan, Bangladesh and South Africa, averaging 26 at a strike rate of 31.6.
But in the match against India, they got only two wickets at an average of 64 and a strike rate of 75.
It is worth mentioning that New Zealand has a 3-1 record in ICC knockout matches against India, having won the CT final in 2000, the 2019 World Cup semifinal and the WTC final in 2023. India’s only win came in the 2023 World Cup semifinal played in India.
Speaking of the key players of both teams, Kane Williamson has scored 333 runs in his last six innings against India, at an average of 83.25 with a strike rate of 79.28, including four half-centuries. While Virat Kohli needs another 55 to become the second-highest run-scorer in ODI history.
Incidentally, it was in the 2023 World Cup semis against New Zealand when he went past Sachin Tendulkar’s tally of 49 ODI tons.

CT 2025 IND vs NZ Pitch Report
The slightly longer boundaries and slow surface in Dubai have made it a little bit tough for the batters to score runs freely. Though the Indian team has managed to chase down totals on this ground, it still proved to be challenging for them.
Looking at how the recent matches have panned out, the wicket might be unpredictable for both the captains. Hence it will be a wise decision to bat first and put up a big total to put the opposition under run-chase pressure.
A keen contest between teams of equal strength if not in star power. Toss may not be crucial but India will not mind batting first or second. Unlikely that it will be a high-scoring game
