Team India need to bring their A game on the table in order to be crowned as World Champions against Black Caps at Iconic Dubai International Stadium at 2.30 PM IST.
Remember when India steps on the field they would not be playing against New Zealand but certainly against each and every cricket board who are jealous about India’s success and unnecessary cribbing about India’s undue advantage about playing all their games in Dubai.
No one raised the voice when South Africa played all their Champion Trophy matches at their home turf at one location in Africa.
No one raised the voice when India played all their matches at 10 venues as compare to other teams in 2023 World Cup.
No one raised the voice when India played all the venues possibly at all venues in West Indies and USA.
If India wins today, It will be win for India against all Cricket Boards but it is certainly not going to be an easy cakewalk for them as Black Caps are formidable side in this ongoing Champions Trophy.
In last 4 Knock Out Clash between India and New Zealand, latter have won against Men in Blue by 3-1 and also when it comes to ICC events, Men in Blue on Sunday have lost 6 matches out of 7 matches they have played so far.
1. Champions Trophy Final: NZ beat India by 4 wickets
2. World Cup Semifinal 2019: NZ beat India by 8 runs.
3. World Test Championship Final: NZ beat India by 8 wickets.
4. World Cup Semifinal: India won by New Zealand by 70 runs.
My Perspective:
There will be some Interesting matchups on display among India and New Zealand be it- Rachin Ravindra vs India’s Spin Quartlet, Varun Chakravarthy vs Kane Williamson, Mitchell Santner vs Shreyas Iyer & Mohammad Shami vs Kiwi Openers which would make it even more interesting.
The match will be evenly poised among each other but the one who adapt and play quality cricket in all three departments and take right decision in the crunch phase of the game will emerge winner of this contest.
