Kochi: Cricket lovers are looking forward for the grand finale of the ICC 2025 Champions Trophy in which India will clash with mighty and well-balanced New Zealand in the finals at Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.
So far India have won it twice in 2002 and 2013 and finished runners-up in 2000 and 2017.
A total of $2.24 million prize money is stake for the winner of the championship which might be the last event for India Captain Rohit Sharma who may decide to hang his boots from ODIs.
India have won all its matches while New Zealand lost to India in a league match.
New Zealand has an upper hand in pace attack with its fast ballers having the ability
to deliver awkward bouncers.
Their spinner Mitchell Santner can turn devastating.
India have two left-arm orthodox spinners, a left-arm wrist-spinner and a right-arm spinner.
Rohit Sharma is keeping hopes on teamwork.
Though Captain Rohit have not done much with the willow, he led the team meticulously. Virat Kohli has played a vital role in the championship.
