India vs New Zealand full scorecard
Indian spinners proved why the team management places immense trust in them as they choked the New Zealand batters in Dubai, handing India a 44-run win in their final group stage match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. With this win, India finishes at the top of the points table with six points from three matches and will now face Australia in semifinal 1 on Tuesday, March 4.
India's innings
Earlier, New Zealand won the toss and decided to field first. India lost their first wicket early after Matt Henry trapped Shubman Gill (2) LBW in the third over. Rohit Sharma (15) soon fell to Kyle Jamieson, as both Indian openers were back in the hut inside the batting powerplay.
Virat Kohli (11) became a victim of another Glenn Phillips stunner, losing his wicket to Henry. Axar Patel (42) added 98 runs for the fourth wicket with Shreyas Iyer (79) to get India back on track before they lost their wickets to Rachin Ravindra and William O’Rourke, respectively.
Mitchell Santner then dismissed KL Rahul (23), adding to India’s misery. Ravindra Jadeja (16) tried to accelerate India’s innings but eventually lost his wicket to Matt Henry. Hardik Pandya (45) attempted to provide India with a strong finish but was dismissed by Henry in the final over, as India ended their innings at 250 for 8 after 50 overs.
New Zealand's chase
In reply, New Zealand lost their first wicket early as Rachin Ravindra (6) fell to Hardik Pandya. Varun Chakravarthy then dismissed Will Young (22) to keep India in control. Daryl Mitchell (17) looked uncomfortable at the crease before being trapped LBW by Kuldeep Yadav.
Tom Latham (14) was then dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja, keeping the match in balance. Varun followed up by taking the wickets of Glenn Phillips (12) and Michael Bracewell (2) in back-to-back overs, piling pressure on the Kiwis.
On the final ball of his spell, Axar Patel had Kane Williamson (81) stumped, bringing India closer to victory. Skipper Mitchell Santner (28) kept New Zealand’s hopes alive for some time before Varun bowled him out. He then dismissed Matt Henry (2) to complete his five-wicket haul.
Finally, Kuldeep Yadav bowled out William O’Rourke (1), bundling New Zealand out for 205, securing a convincing 44-run win for India.
