India and New Zealand are set for a thrilling face-off in the final league match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Both teams remain unbeaten in the tournament, making this a crucial battle for the top spot in Group A.
New Zealand received a boost with Daryl Mitchell declared fit for the game. Meanwhile, India’s camp had a slight concern over skipper Rohit Sharma’s fitness, though KL Rahul downplayed any major worries. Reports suggested Shubman Gill could make his ODI captaincy debut if Rohit is rested, but assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate hinted that Gill may have to wait for his turn.
With semifinal spots secured, the pressure is off for India, but they will be eager to maintain their winning momentum. A third straight win in Dubai would give them confidence heading into the knockout stages. For New Zealand, a victory would cement their dominance in the group.
Cricket fans can expect a high-octane clash as both sides push for an edge ahead of the semifinals.
