Champions Trophy 2025
Sports News. IND vs NZ Possible Playing XI Champions Trophy: The group stage of the Champions Trophy 2025 is coming to an end today. India and New Zealand will face each other in the last match of Group B, this match will be held at the Dubai Cricket Stadium. Both the teams have reached the semi-finals, but today's match will decide who will top Group A? If the Indian team remains second in the table, it will face South Africa. If it remains at the top of the list, it will face Australia in the semi-finals.
On one hand, recently questions are being raised about the fitness of Indian team captain Rohit Sharma. While Arshdeep Singh has been kept out of the playing XI from the beginning. Since the pressure will be a little less in the match against New Zealand, it is possible that Mohammed Shami or Harshit Rana can be rested and Arshdeep can be given a chance. While Hardik Pandya can play the role of the third fast bowler like every time.
The Dubai pitch has proven to be good for batting and spin bowling in the Champions Tournament so far. So far, India has won both the matches here while chasing. As the pitch gets older, it will become easier to bat here. So, the team that wins the toss may decide to bowl first.
Till now, India and New Zealand have faced each other 118 times in the history of One Day International cricket. Out of these, Team India has won 60 times and the Kiwi team has won 50 times. Their match has been tied once and there has been no result in 7 matches. India has defeated New Zealand in each of the last 5 ODIs.
India's probable playing XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli , Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh , Varun Chakravarthy. Probable New Zealand playing XI: Will Young, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Tom Latham, Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (captain), Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, William O'Rourke.
