India and New Zealand to Face Off in ICC Champions Trophy Final in Dubai
The unbeaten Indian team takes on a resilient New Zealand side as both aim for the coveted title on Sunday.
- India enters the final as the only unbeaten team in the tournament, having defeated New Zealand in the group stage by 44 runs.
- New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra has emerged as a standout player with two centuries in the tournament, including a match-winning 108 in the semifinal against South Africa.
- Key New Zealand pacer Matt Henry, the tournament's leading wicket-taker, remains doubtful for the final due to a shoulder injury sustained in the semifinal.
- India's spin attack, featuring Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav, has been pivotal on Dubai's slower pitches, with Chakravarthy taking seven wickets in two games.
- The final will be played in Dubai as part of a neutral venue agreement between India and Pakistan due to political tensions, with no rain expected on match day.
