India takes on New Zealand in the final league game of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai on Sunday. The match starts from 2.30 pm IST with the sides fighting to finish at the top of the points table.
Both teams are unbeaten so far in the campaign. India beat Bangladesh and Pakistan handsomely and so did the Kiwis. Both teams have also qualified for the semi-finals of the tournament which will be played on March 4 and 5.
Heading into this game, both teams are likely to make a few changes in their XI given that the sides are looking to rotate the side and give every player some game time on the park.

Both teams are happily placed in terms of confidence heading into this game and then into the semi-finals of the tournament. The Kiwis have been the team to beat India in crucial knockout matches in the past and the intensity in this match should be no different. Talking about the Indian squad, Rohit Sharma was suffering from a hamstring injury but he had an extended practice session on Friday night where he looked in no trouble. Arshdeep Singh might replace Mohammed Shami in the XI as the senior pacer might be rested ahead of the knockout game. Varun Chakravarthy might replace Kuldeep Yadav. Meanwhile, this is also Virat Kohli's 300th ODI match.
Talking about New Zealand, all their players are in-form as well. Daryl Mitchell who missed the game against Bangladesh might return to the XI. Rachin Ravindra and Will Young have all scored centuries in this tournament with the Kiwi batting lineup looking solid heading into this game. The bowlers in the absence of Lockie Ferguson have done a pretty good job so far in the tournament. The Mitchell Santner vs Virat Kohli battle will be the one to watch out for.
