Preview

The 12th match of the Champions Trophy 2025 will see New Zealand locking horns with India, at the Dubai International Stadium, on Sunday, March 2. India and New Zealand have faced each other in 118 matches in ODI. Out of these 118 games, India have won 60 whereas New Zealand have come out victorious on 50 occasions. India beat Bangladesh in the opening match by six wickets and Pakistan in the second match while New Zealand also won both their group stage matches so far. Both these sides have already qualified and the winner of this match will finish top of the Group A. 

Match Expert Tips

The captain and vice-captains have been selected keeping the venue in mind. The Dubai International Stadium in Dubai is expected to assist the spinners throughout the game. There will be some help for the pacers as well and batting will be easier with the new ball as evident in the previous game. Both teams are stacked with some great bowlers and we will try to cover as many bowlers and all-rounders.
