Ind vs nz champions trophy 2025: The Champions Trophy between India and New Zealand will be played on 9 March at the Mahamukabala Dubai ground. In the current tournament where the Indian team has been invincible. At the same time, New Zealand has lost only one match. That too against India. Both teams have an army of star players, who change the attitude of the match in a few balls. The Indian team is commanded by Rohit Sharma. New Zealand captain is Mitchell Santner. The New Zealand team would like to leave any deficiency to win the title. Let’s know how New Zealand’s playing XI can be for Mahamukabale against India.
Rachin Ravindra is in great form
Both Young and Rachin Ravindra are doing well for New Zealand. Will Young scored a century against Pakistan and won the team on their own. On the other hand, Rachin is also running in fierce form. The bowlers of the opposing teams are not able to stand ahead of them. Rachin has so far scored two centuries in the current tournament. In such a situation, the pair of Young and Rachin can open against India.
Williamson play almost fixed
For New Zealand, experienced batsman Kane Williamson is almost certain to land at number three. Once he is set on the crease, it becomes very difficult to dismiss him. He scored a great century against South Africa in the semi -finals. Deril Mitchell may get a chance at number four. Glenn Philips can get a chance at number five. Mitchell and Philips specialize in explosive batting and can play stroke in any corner of the field. The responsibility of the wicketkeeper can be entrusted to Tom Latham. Latham has also scored a century in the current tournament.
New Zealand has two star spinners
The match between India and New Zealand will be played at the Dubai ground, where the pitch supports spinners. New Zealand has two magnificent spinners such as Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracebell, who have the ability to demolish the opposing team. Fast bowling may be seen leading the aggressor, Kylvai Maimsisan. Will O Rurke can get a chance in the team to support him.
Big doubt over the play of matte henry
Matt Henry suffered a shoulder injury while catching a catch of Heinrich Klassen in the semi -final match against South Africa. For this reason, there is doubt about his playing in the finals. If he is not able to fully fit to play the match, Jacob Dafi can be included in the playing XI in his place. But Henry’s injury has increased the tension of the New Zealand captain.
New Zealand’s possible playing XI for the final match against India:
Mitchell Santner (Captain), Will Young, Rachin Rabindra, Kane Williamson, Derryl Mitchell, Glenn Philips, Tom Latham, Michael Bracebell, Mitchell Sentner, Kyle Zamison, Will O Rurke, Matt Henry/Jacob Dafi.
