Pitch Report :

The surface at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is quite balanced as both batters and bowlers get some help from the surface. The pacers will enjoy bowling the new ball while batters will find it easy as the game progresses. Batters can expect a good bounce, while the bowlers will get an early swing. Batters generally enjoy batting here, and the team that wins the toss is expected to bowl first if no dew is expected to fall in the second half.

The average first innings score at this vaune in the last 10 ODI matches is 272 runs.

Weather Report :

The temperature is expected to hover around 29°C on the Sunday with 55% humidity and 22 km/hr wind speed. There are 20% chances of rain during the match.

Preview :

The stage is set for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final to be held on March 9, Sunday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. India (IND), who have reached their 3rd successive Champions Trophy final (also 2013 and 2017), take on New Zealand (NZ) in this fiery contest. India had defeated the Kiwis in their last group-stage encounter by 44 runs. They went on to then beat Australia in the semis. On the other hand, the Kiwis were up against South Africa in the 2nd semi-final, and they passed the test with flying colours.

India have already won the competition twice (joint-winners in 2002 and sole winners in 2013). New Zealand have bagged the trophy once when they beat India in the 2000 final.

India have dominated games in the Champions Trophy 2025 with their spin show, which will be no different. One expects the same side that took on New Zealand and Australia in the last two games. For the Kiwis, Matt Henry, who is the tournament’s top wicket-taker, is set to miss the final owing to a shoulder injury. Jacob Duffy is likely to come in.
