JioHotstar in India will stream the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match between India and New Zealand on their app and website.
On a pitch offering significant turn, India's spin attack-led by a masterful Kuldeep Yadav (2/40)-dictated the tempo of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final
'Catches win matches' is a well-known tagline in cricketing folklore. But India does not help itself as four catches have already been dropped while New Zealand tries to set a target.
IND spin attack has been nothing less than a force to be reckoned with, and it was a historic moment when the spinners took 9 wickets in an ODI for the first time since 2011 in their Group game vs NZ
If all of the matches played in Dubai this year are considered, the highest total came in the IND vs AUS semi-final match when Australia set a 265-run target for the Men in Blue.
The pitch for the Champions Trophy 2025 final between India and New Zealand will not be a completely fresh one, unlike the pitches used for India's previous four matches in the tournament.
This was Rohit's 12th consecutive toss defeat, matching the infamous streak set by West Indies legend Brian Lara between October 1998 and May 1999.
With conditions favouring spinners and the pressure of a title decider, the stakes could not be higher.
With Dubai pitch expected to be sluggish, India went with four spinners and two pacers, including Hardik Pandya. New Zealand make one change in their Playing 11

New Zealand pacer Matt Henry has been rendered doubtful for the Champions Trophy final against India owing to a shoulder niggle but coach Gary Stead is hopeful that the in-form bowler will recover in time for the clash on Sunday. Henry leads the tournament's top wicket-takers' list with 10 scalps, including a 5/42 against India in their group match. The 33-year-old injured himself when he landed on his shoulder during the semifinal against South Africa in Lahore on Wednesday. "Matt obviously landed on his shoulder and it was pretty uncomfortable. I guess the positive thing from our perspective is that he got back out there to bowl. We've had some scans done on him," Stead told reporters here on Friday. The coach was hopeful that Henry would be ready in time for the final. "We're going to give him every chance to be playing in this match, so still a little bit unknown at this stage. "He's obviously pretty sore just from landing on the point of his shoulder, but yeah, hopefully he
Despite his limited exposure, Varun Chakaravarthy has made waves with his performances, particularly in the lead-up to the Champions Trophy final between India and New Zealand in Dubai
Kane Williamson stood between India and an all-win record in the Champions Trophy group stage, keeping New Zealand's chase of 250 flickering with a polished 81. Till then batting judiciously, Williamson gave a full-hearted charge against Axar Patel and the slightly slanted delivery evaded his downcoming bat for KL Rahul to complete the stumping. It was the last ball of Axar's spell that read 10-0-32-1, and stood out for its accuracy and the cunningness to maximise his ability in favourable conditions. But the effort understandably went unnoticed in the din surrounding fellow spinner Varun Chakravarthy's five-wicket haul. But it is nothing new for Axar, as he once was labelled mercilessly as poor man's Jadeja' for the similarity in his skills a left-arm spin bowler and a left-handed batter. However, it was true that Axar was struggling to break free from the shadow of his illustrious senior teammate. The only way Axar could have cut open a path for himself was to improve his batt
Dashing New Zealand opener Rachin Ravindra feels adapting to the conditions will be key to succeed on an "unknown" Dubai surface in the Champions Trophy final against India on Sunday. Except the group match against India in Dubai, New Zealand have played all their games in Pakistan. The Kiwis had also played two games in Lahore during the preceding tri-series involving Pakistan and South Africa. India, on the other, have played all their matches in Dubai and are familiar with the conditions. "We don't quite know what the Dubai pitch is. We saw in our (group) game against India the ball turning but the other day didn't turn so much. We found ourselves adapting and playing according to situations, which we will need to do on Sunday again. "We will see in the next couple of days and hopefully it's a good cricket wicket," said Ravindra after an emphatic 50-run win over South Africa in the semifinal here on Wednesday. Ravindra scored only six against India in the group, falling to Hard
