India will take on New Zealand in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy at the Dubai International Stadium Today. India played brilliantly in their league matches where they have defeated Bangladesh, Pakistan and New Zealand and by doing so they are the only team which is undefeated till now on other hand New Zealand has lost their only match against India.
India will start the game as favourites but New Zealand would be no walkovers. New Zealand have troubled India in the past in ICC matches and they’d look to add bring more misery to them on Sunday. India though have a better team given the conditions and if they play well, it should be tough for New Zealand to get over them.
Back in 2000 in Champion’s Trophy final New Zealand had defeated India with 4 wickets. Now India would love to take revenge of that defeat and they would love to win the title third time.
The surface that was used in the India vs Pakistan match will be used for the final and it should favour the spinners. There has not been much dew in the evening so chasing could get tough if the team sets a big score batting first.
