Champions Trophy IND vs NZ
The Champions Trophy 2025 final between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ) is set to take place on March 9 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Both teams have already faced each other once in the league stage of the same tournament, where Team India emerged victorious. However, considering New Zealand’s current form, it would be unwise to underestimate them. On one hand, India has remained unbeaten in the tournament so far and stormed into the finals by defeating Australia convincingly in the semi-finals (AUS vs IND). On the other hand, New Zealand reached the final with an impressive victory over South Africa (NZ vs SA).

He stated that based on current form, Team India appears to be much stronger than New Zealand, making them the favorites for the title. Akhtar said, “If we look at India’s recent performances, they seem far stronger than New Zealand. Both their batting and bowling are in exceptional form.”
