India Vs New Zealand Champions Trophy Final, Live Score & Updates | Cricket News Today | IND vs NZ

He’s out with 41 needed off 51. “Terrible shot”, says Gavaskar on commentary

The run-rate has just ticked over a run-a-ball. India still has enough batting to come: there’s Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja to follow

Did the pressure get to him? After nine dot balls, Rohit is out stumped, trying to go for a big hit

New Zealand are back in the game! Kohli falls for 1(2) to Michael Bracewell. Is there a twist?

Glenn Phillips, you beaut!

The first century opening partnership of this Champions Trophy.

86-0 in 14 overs! Rohit Sharma with his sixth 50-plus score in the Champions Trophy. Only Virat Kohli has more…

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium, one of two ODI venues at the city, has not had a successful chase of 300 in ODIs yet. Sri Lanka’s 287-8 (chasing 285) against Pakistan in 2013 remains the record. India will have to pull off the fifth-highest chase here.

Have New Zealand got enough on the board?

Concedes just 30 runs in his spell, top bowling!

Wrong ‘un, drifting through! Phillips had no idea what to do with that one…

1 – Shami
1 – Iyer
1 – Rohit
1 – Gill

How many can NZ get in the final 14 overs?

Tom Latham is out lbw for 14 (30) attempting to sweep Ravindra Jadeja!

NZ have scored no boundaries since the last 58 deliveries.

Kane Williamson is off! Kuldeep gets another. Just chipped back to the bowler, as soft as it gets.

Called in ahead of Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav strikes to send back the danger-man Rachin Ravindra!

Will Young is gone, out lbw! 

After Shami, Iyer shells a running catch off Ravundra again

He dropped Travis Head and Steve Smith in the semi-final, and Rachin Ravindra in the final now. How costly will this be?

With pressure mounting, India bring in Varun CV in the sixth over itself.

It’s the first time he has been called in as the first-change bowler

Four boundaries in six deliveries, and NZ are suddenly off!

India’s new-ball pairing of Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya has kept things under check. 

It’s forced NZ to try and go for quick, risky singles.

Smith played the first match of the tournament vs Pakistan, registering figures of 1-20 from 2 overs.

New Zealand will bat first in the final

Rain has disrupted the 2025 Champions Trophy (including three no-result outcomes), but not in Dubai.

There is no rain predicted today.

Most runs in Champions Trophy history:

Gayle 791
Kohli 746
Jayawardene 742

Among cricketers in the 2025 edition, the nearest to Kohli are
Root 656
Rohit 585
Williamson 534

With 10 wickets, Henry is the leading wicket-taker in the 2025 Champions Trophy so far (no one has even 9).

So who will replace Henry? A like-for-like replacement? Or get Coway in to boost the batting? There are quite a few options.

Matches: 13

India won: 6

New Zealand won: 6

Abandoned: 1

The India-New Zealand rivalry at global ODI events is as tight as it can get!

India have won their last two matches in Dubai playing four spinners, including against New Zealand. There’s been nothing to suggest that they are going to change things up for the final so far.

The senior New Zealand quick injured himself in the semi-final against South Africa. There’s no official update yet on whether he’ll be fit for the final.
