India vs New Zealand highlights, ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final: India beat New Zealand by four wickets to clinch third Champions Trophy title
India vs New Zealand highlights, ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final: Skipper Rohit Sharma led by example with a brilliant half-century as a determined India held their nerve to secure an unprecedented third Champions Trophy title, defeating New Zealand by four wickets in the final on Sunday.
Bowling first after Rohit endured his 12th consecutive toss loss, India’s spinners put on a masterclass, restricting New Zealand to 251/7 in 50 overs. Kuldeep Yadav (2/40) and Varun Chakaravarthy (2/45) were instrumental in applying the brakes on the Kiwi batting lineup.
Chasing 252, India got over the line with six balls to spare, thanks to key contributions from Rohit (76 off 83) and Shreyas Iyer (48 off 62).
For New Zealand, Daryl Mitchell (63 off 101), Michael Bracewell (53* off 40), and Rachin Ravindra (37 off 29) were the standout performers with the bat.
India faced a few tense moments in the chase, especially after being comfortably placed at 183/3 in the 38th over. However, KL Rahul (34* off 33) displayed remarkable composure to guide the team home, supported by a quickfire 18 from Hardik Pandya.
With this victory, India completed a flawless campaign, remaining unbeaten throughout the tournament—a testament to their dominance.
Having previously won the Champions Trophy in 2002 and 2013, India now stand alone as the only team to lift the prestigious title three times.

DRINKS!
Rohit Sharma's explosive batting has propelled the opening partnership to 103 runs, causing significant concern for New Zealand. Following his initial careful approach, Shubman Gill has found his rhythm and is now contributing effectively to India's dominance. Although the spinners have managed to reduce the scoring rate marginally, New Zealand's bowlers have struggled to build pressure through consecutive dot deliveries. India maintains firm control of the proceedings, steering the match according to their strategy. New Zealand must secure wickets promptly to regain a foothold, as their grip on the match continues to weaken considerably.

IND vs NZ Live Score: MITCHELL STEADIES, BRACEWELL FINISHES STRONG
With New Zealand reeling at 108-4, Mitchell and wicketkeeper-batter Tom Latham attempted to rebuild. Their partnership took the team past 100 before Ravindra Jadeja trapped Latham LBW for 14, dealing another blow to the Kiwis.
Mitchell, who was dropped on 38 by Rohit Sharma, held firm and stitched together a 57-run stand with Glenn Phillips (34). But just as New Zealand looked to regain momentum, Chakravarthy struck again, cleaning up Phillips with a fast googly.
Mitchell continued to fight, adding valuable runs with Bracewell before falling to Shami, caught at extra cover. Bracewell, however, ensured a competitive total with a late onslaught, hammering three fours and two sixes to take New Zealand to 251-7.

IND vs NZ Live Score: SPIN PUTS NEW ZEALAND ON THE BACK FOOT
Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav led the charge with two wickets each, applying relentless pressure on the New Zealand batters. India, who have played all their matches in Dubai due to their decision to skip traveling to host nation Pakistan, continued their unbeaten run at the venue.
Mitchell anchored the innings with a steady 63, while Bracewell provided a late flourish, smashing an unbeaten 53 off just 40 balls to push New Zealand past the 250-run mark.
New Zealand openers started cautiously before Rachin Ravindra, their hero from the semi-final against South Africa, looked to accelerate. The left-hander, coming off a brilliant century in Lahore, took the attack to Mohammed Shami, striking a six and two fours in quick succession.
However, India’s fielding woes gave him two lifelines—Shami dropped a tough return catch, and Shreyas Iyer put down another opportunity in the deep. But Kuldeep made an immediate impact, cleaning up Ravindra for 37 with a sharp googly on his very first delivery.
The left-arm wrist spinner struck again soon after, sending captain Kane Williamson back for 11, caught and bowled to a roaring response from the largely pro-India crowd. Williamson, who had scored a century in the semi-final, looked fluent during his 14-ball stay before falling victim to Kuldeep’s deception.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Daryl Mitchell, Michael Bracewell fifties take New Zealand to 251/7
Half-centuries from Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell helped New Zealand post 251-7 in the Champions Trophy 2025 final, as India's spinners dictated terms for most of the innings in Dubai on Sunday.
Opting to bat first after winning the toss, the Black Caps suffered an early setback with fast bowler Matt Henry ruled out due to a shoulder injury.
India, coming off a dominant semi-final win against Australia, remained unchanged and relied on their spin attack to keep New Zealand in check on a sluggish pitch that has consistently favored slow bowlers throughout the tournament in Pakistan and the UAE.
18:11 (IST) Mar 09
IND vs NZ Live Score: 'It was a good wicket compared to the last wicket'
It was a good wicket compared to the last wicket. It was not turning much. All I could do was stick it into the stump line and wait for the batter to make some mistake. I like bowling in the death and the powerplay, it is more challenging and gives me more opportunity to pick wickets. I like talking to Kuldeep, even Jaddu bhai and Axar, I am pretty new to this setup and am looking to build some nice bonds. It (the right foot) is a little sore. It is a gettable score if we bat well initially.

New Zealand barely surpassed the 250-run threshold, thanks to a crucial late surge from Michael Bracewell when they were struggling. It's worth noting that this is the identical pitch where the India versus Pakistan match took place, with 241 runs posted in the first innings. The total, therefore, sits in a comparable range. The Indian spin quartet delivered an outstanding bowling performance, although India's fielding standards appeared below their usual excellence.

India vs New Zealand highlights, Champions Trophy Final: Indian team stalwart Virat Kohli was one of the happiest players after the ICC Champions Trophy final win against New Zealand not because they won the silverware but also due to the depth they possess in their squad. Kohli said that India have the squad that can take on the world for the next eight years.
Captain Rohit Sharma's 76-run knock set the tone of India's 252 chase while Shreyas Iyer's 48 and KL Rahul's unbeaten 34 guided the side over the line with one over to spare. Axar Patel (29) and Hardik Pandya (18) also contributed cameo innings to take the side closer to victory in a pulsating encounter.
"It's been amazing, we wanted to bounce back after a tough Australian tour, and wanted to win a big tournament, so to win the Champions Trophy is amazing. So much talent in the dressing room, they're trying to take their game further and we're just happy to be of help (role of the seniors), sharing our experience and that's what makes this Indian team so strong," Kohli said after the match.
"These are the things you want to play (for titles), playing under pressure and putting your hand up. The whole team, everyone has put their hands up sometimes or other (during the course of the tournament), everyone has put up impactful performances, we've been part of an amazing team, the amount of work we've done in the practice sessions, it feels great (to win).
"When you leave, you want to leave the team in a better place, I feel we've a squad that's ready to take on the world for the next 8 years. Shubman has been outstanding, Shreyas has played some top knocks, KL has finished games and Hardik has been superb with the bat," he added.
The 36-year-old lauded the grit and determination of New Zealand and praised their attacking and competitive nature.
"Amazing (on the New Zealand team), we've always been in awe with what they can do, the limited number of players in the talent pool, but they just execute plans so well, they keep playing the kind of cricket that keeps them very much in the game. They're always been attacking and supportive of the bowlers.
"Credit to them, easily the best fielding unit, sad to see a very good friend of mine to be on the losing side (on Kane Wiliamson), but they're always so good and they keep doing the basics well. That's what makes them such a competitive unit," Kohli said.
It was India's third Champions Trophy title - the most by any team in the eight-team tournament.
