The grand finale of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is underway at the Dubai International Stadium, where India and New Zealand are battling for the coveted title. In a high-stakes clash, New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and opted to bat first. The Kiwis posted a competitive total of 251/7 in their allotted 50 overs, setting India a target of 252 runs to claim the trophy.
Chasing the target, India got off to a steady start, but they have now lost three crucial wickets. The latest blow came in the form of skipper Rohit Sharma, who played a brilliant knock of 76 runs before falling to Rachin Ravindra. With the score at 122/3, India still needs 130 runs to secure the title.
With key players like Virat Kohli and KL Rahul at the crease, the chase is delicately poised. Can India hold their nerves and script a historic win, or will New Zealand’s bowling attack turn the tide? The battle for glory is on!
