Earlier in the innings, India’s spinners applied pressure, leading to key dismissals: Tom Latham was trapped lbw by Ravindra Jadeja for 14 runs, and Kane Williamson was caught nd bowled by Kuldeep Yadav for 11 runs. Despite a strong start, New Zealand faced a series of quick wickets and now aims for a total in the range of 250 to 270 runs, with Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips currently at the crease.
Prior to the match, New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner expressed concerns over the fitness of pacer Matt Henry, who sustained a shoulder injury in the semi-final against South Africa. Henry, the tournament’s leading wicket-taker, underwent a last-minute fitness test to determine his participation in the final. Additionally, Santner highlighted the challenge posed by India’s “mystery spinner” Varun Chakravarthy, who delivered an impressive performance with figures of 5 for 42 in their previous group match. The New Zealand team has been analyzing footage to better prepare for Chakravarthy’s diverse bowling techniques.
On the Indian side, opener Shubman Gill emphasized the team’s eagerness to secure the Champions Trophy title, while maintaining composure to avoid undue pressure. Following their Twenty20 World Cup victory last year, India enters the final with a balanced and confident lineup. The batting order, bolstered by Virat Kohli’s return to form alongside Rohit Sharma and Gill, provides depth and flexibility, allowing the top-order batsmen to play with freedom.
