India and New Zealand will look to continue their good work in the last group match. Both the teams have batted and bowled splendidly well in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 till now. India had bowled first in both the games and won their matches by six wickets.
At the same team, the Kiwis had batted first against Pakistan and set a huge score of 320 runs in their first game and versus Bangladesh, they chased down the score of 236 runs with five wickets in hand and 3.5 overs to spare. However, India will have to make better plans if they bat first in tomorrow’s game.
Shubman Gill is India’s highest run getter in this ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Gill has been India’s consistent performer since last few ODI matches. Virat Kohli, who scored a brilliant unbeaten 100 against Pakistan would be expected to do well against a more dangerous side like New Zealand.
From the team of the Blackcaps, Tom Lathan is the highest run getter in this fifty overs tournament. Michael Bracewell is the highest wicket taker from the Kiwis and Mohammed Shami has picked up the most scalps for the Men in Blue in this tournament.
New Zealand Vs India: Playing XI Of Both The Teams For The Last Group Stage Match Of The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 –
New Zealand: The Kiwis will bring in Darly Mitchell before the start of the semi-finals. Kyle Jamieson might have to sit out. Darly is an all-rounder, who can also strengthen the batting of the Kiwis and if he has a good day with the bat and bowl, then that would be a big confidence booster for them.
Will Young, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Tom Latham (wk), Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (c), Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, William ORourke.
India: Should India look to experiment in this dead rubber game? India can give chances to Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar and Varun Chakarabarthy. These three players haven’t played any matches in this tournament. India can rest Ravindra Jadeja and play Washington Sundar and Varun can replace Kuldeep for this lone game while Pant can come in place of Rahul as a wicketkeeper.
Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul/Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja/Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav/Varun Chakarabarthy.
