With Team India taking crucial wickets at important stages at the start of the Champions Trophy 2025 final against New Zealand in Dubai, the Men in Blue look in control of the match which was not the case in the powerplay with Rachin Ravindra hitting balls across the field for multiple boundaries.
 
With the Dubai pitch not famous for high scores on the night, India's match against Australia could've seen scores as high as 280 if it wasn't for India's quick fire wickets in the end.
 
Having said that, what will be the ideal total for India tonight which would be chaseable by the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the 2nd innings?  Check IND vs NZ Champions Trophy final LIVE SCORE UPDATES here

What is the highest successful ODI run chase in Dubai?  As far as the  highest successful run chases in the stadium are concerned, teams such as Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Namibia, and India have successfully chased down set targets, showcasing competitive performances. Notably, Sri Lanka's victory against Pakistan in 2013 and India’s recent success against Pakistan in 2025 stand out for their impressive chases, while Pakistan's tough battle against South Africa in 2010 highlights the unpredictability of cricket.  Two of those run chases have come in the Champions Trophy this year courtesy of the Indian cricket team.
