Updates:
New Zealand's fast bowlers, led by Matt Henry starred to limit Team India to 249/9 after electing to field first on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium. Shreyas Iyer's 79 was the only standout performance from India but Axar Patel (42) and Hardik Pandya (45) made equally crucial contributions to the cause.
New Zealand skipper Mitchell Santner have won the toss and opted to bowl first against Team India at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have carried out one change, with the Men in Blue resting pacer Harshit Rana and bringing in Varun Chakravarthy. The Kiwis have brought in Daryl Mitchell, while Devon Conway misses out.
New Zealand playing XI: Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (wk), Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (c), Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, William ORourke.
Team India playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy.
Team India and New Zealand will square off in what will be the final group game of Champions Trophy 2025 on March 2, Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium. Although both sides have qualified for the semi-finals, it's yet another chance to get their momentum going ahead of the pointy end.
Team India beat Pakistan and Bangladesh by six wickets, painting themselves as the firm favourites to lift the Champions Trophy title again. Shubman Gill scored a hundred against Bangladesh, while Virat Kohli did so against Pakistan. Their bowlers are also firing on all the cylinders, while they have the convenience of not travelling to any other venue to play. While Rohit Sharma remains under slight injury cloud, the opener is likely to be fit for the contest.
New Zealand, meanwhile, have also had a smooth sailing campaign thus far. However, they will have to contend with the challenge of playing in Dubai for the first time where conditions are different to playing in Pakistan. However, it is likely to be a good warm-up ahead of the semi-finals.
