The first innings of the Champions Trophy match between India and New Zealand saw Shreyas Iyer playing a composed knock of 79 runs off 98 balls, anchoring India’s innings in their Group A match. Despite Iyer's gritty efforts, India could only muster 249/9, with Mark Henry leading the way for New Zealand with a brilliant 5/42. Iyer and Axar Patel (42 off 61 balls) built a crucial 98-run partnership for the fourth wicket, but both fell before they could convert their starts into bigger scores. Hardik Pandya (45 off 45 balls) provided late fireworks, helping India to a sub-par total. The early collapse, with Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli falling cheaply, had left India struggling at 30/3. Henry’s brilliance, combined with some sharp fielding, kept India in check. Despite their efforts, the top-order collapse hurt India’s chances of posting a challenging total.
NZ skipper Mitchell Santner won the toss and decided to bowl first against India in Dubai. Both captains after the toss: Rohit Sharma: Was anyway looking to bat first, wanted to see what we could do upfront and then challenge our bowlers since we chased on both games. Approach will be very similar to the previous games, just trying to do the same things. One change for us - Harshit has been rested, Varun is playing for us. It is all about bowling in partnerships, in both games we have combined to pick 19 wickets. Our spinners have restricted them well and then the seamers have got the wickets. Mitchell Santner: We'll have a bowl first, looks like a good wicket. Want to put some pressure early and hopefully it skids on well later. We still want to win, we know we are going to be in Lahore later but first task is to do a job here, and challenge ourselves in different conditions. Daryl Mitchell comes in, Conway misses this one.
