Champions Trophy 2025 is at its last stop. Now just waiting for the final match, which will be played between India and New Zealand on 9 March in Dubai. After 25 years, both teams will face face to face in the final of this tournament. Team India has so far performed brilliantly under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. She has also defeated the Kiwi team once in this tournament. But now he will have a chance to win this title again by taking revenge for the defeat in the final of 2000.

However, on such occasions, the New Zealand team has been formed in the way of the Indian team. So will the Indian captain see the New Zealand team seen in the rhythm this time?

Team India depends on spinners

In the final, Indian captain Rohit Sharma can once again be seen laying a net of spinners like a group stage. In Team India, Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakraborty Frontline spinners can play as Akshar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja Spin all -rounder. On the basis of these four bowlers, India had piled the Kiwi team for 205 runs during the group stage. Then Varun Chakraborty proved to be an X factor and also became a player of the match by taking 5 wickets.

He can also become Rohit Sharma's 'Brahmastra' in the final, because he is the only bowler who has been impossible for almost all teams to read.

If the magic of Varun Chakraborty again goes on, then India's victory can be confirmed. Talking about the pace attack, Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya appeared in a great rhythm against Australia in the semi -finals. The bowling of both of them in the powerplay will be important again. Be it Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli, all the batsmen of the Indian team have been seen in excellent form so far.

But Team India will have to pay attention in fielding. In this tournament, Indian fielders have left many catches, a mistake in the final can take away from the trophy.

New Zealand's strength

The New Zealand team is said to be the most balanced team of this tournament. Like India, he has 2 frontline spinners and 2 spin all -rounders. All of them are also bowling brilliantly. At the same time, Matt Henry and William Ourke can prove fatal for Indian openers in pace attack. Talk about batting, there is also depth in that too. In the top order, where Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson are coming in a spectacular form and in the semi -finals.

At the same time, in the middle order, Darryl Mitchell and Tom Latham have the power to make a long partnership and can hurt India deeply. Both players play the spin well. In such a situation, the wicket of these four players in the title match is going to be very important for India. In the end, Michael Bracewell and Glenn Philips have the power to overturn the match by scoring the run. But Fielding is the biggest and important power of New Zealand. Because of this, he saves 15-20 runs in every match, which can prove to be a game changer.

What will be the playing 11?

In the current tournament, the Indian team has done well under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma and the team is invincible in the tournament. The Indian captain will hardly tamper with the winning combination. Therefore, there is no change in the final. On the other hand, fast bowler Matt Henry is struggling with a shoulder injury in the New Zealand team. They are not sure to play. If they are not able to recover, then the Kiwi team can make a change.
