The final match of the Champions Trophy is going to be played between India and New Zealand on 9 March
The final match of the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025 is going to be played between India and New Zealand on March 9. Let us tell you that this match between the two teams will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. At the same time, if the media reports of Cricbuzz are to be believed, then the final match will be played on the pitch used for the India-Pakistan match in the league stage.
It has been seen so far that like other pitches in Dubai, this pitch is also expected to be slow, due to which the spinners of both the teams are expected to get a lot of help. It is worth noting that in the league stage, the match between India and Pakistan was played on this ground on 23 February.
In this match, Pakistan, who won the toss and batted first, were all out for just 241 runs in 49.4 overs. For Pakistan, only Saud Shakeel played the best innings of 62 runs. On the other hand, from Team India’s side, spinners took five wickets in the match, and fast bowlers got 3 wickets.
Spinners can be effective
After this, India easily achieved the target by losing 4 wickets in 42.3 overs on the basis of Virat Kohli’s century. At the same time, a spin friendly track is expected in the final match as well, due to which a captain would like to decide to bat first after winning the toss on this ground, because in a match like the final, there is a different pressure of the scoreboard.
Well, before the Champions Trophy final match against India, New Zealand head coach Gary Stead said as per Cricbuzz – We definitely hope that he (Varun Chakraborty) will play after taking 5 wickets for 42 runs against us in the last match. And yes, our planning will also be around that. There is no doubt that he is a great bowler.
