India vs New Zealand Today Match, Champions Trophy Final 2025 Detailed Analysis: New Zealand will look for a measure of revenge for the group stage loss against India as the two sides lock horns in the final of the Champions Trophy in Dubai. India remain the only undefeated team in the tournament and will look to go all the way as another ICC trophy looms over the horizon.
New Zealand have more often than not been a thorn in India’ side with their 2019 World Cup semifinal win still lives in Indian fans’ nightmares. They have also defeated India in the World Test Championship final back in 2021, denying the Men in Blue another ICC trophy.
In recent times, however, in ICC tournaments, India have been the dominant side, defeating the Kiwis in the 2023 World Cup semifinal as well as in a group stage match while also getting the better of them in the current edition of the Champions Trophy in the last Group A match when Varun Chakravarthy broke the Black Caps with 5 wickets. Can they maintain their winning streak against the bogey team at Dubai again remains to be seen.
