India will take on New Zealand in a winner-takes-all Champions Trophy decider in Dubai. Here’s how the contest is shaping up.
Two ICC heavyweights, India and New Zealand, will duel for silverware, looking to be crowned the first Champions Trophy winner since Pakistan claimed the prize back in 2017.
Adding to the intrigue, these two teams have already done battle in the tournament and at the same venue no less. It means strategies and adjustments will be firmly in focus, as the Black Caps attempt to correct what happened a week ago.
The contest will be played at the Dubai International Stadium, which has hosted India’s campaign. The pitch offers plenty for bowlers, particularly spinners, who loom large in both lineups for the big contest.
