New Zealand vs India: Champions Trophy final clash in Dubai

Mitchell Santner's New Zealand faces India in a crucial Champions Trophy final showdown in Dubai. Both teams have a strong ICC finals history, with New Zealand seeking their third title against India. Anticipation is high for this competitive encounter.

New Zealand, led by Mitchell Santner, is preparing for a crucial showdown against India in the Champions Trophy final in Dubai. Having triumphed over India in two previous ICC finals, specifically the 2000 Champions Trophy and the 2021 ICC Test Championship, New Zealand aims to secure their third ICC title against India.
Former England captain, Nasser Hussain, believes that New Zealand, with their blend of seasoned veterans and youthful talent, poses a formidable challenge. "Players like Kane Williamson bring vast experience, while emerging stars like Rachin Ravindra add fresh energy. New Zealand may lose, but it will take a strong performance from India to best them," Hussain commented to Sky Sports Cricket.
Both teams have a history of intense battles in ICC tournament knockouts, with New Zealand winning the 2019 World Cup semi-final and India claiming victory in the 2023 World Cup semi-final. Earlier in the current tournament, New Zealand faced a 44-run defeat against India in the group stages but rebounded with a decisive 50-run win over South Africa in the semi-finals, setting the stage for their clash with India.
Recalling insights from a conversation with ex-Australian captain Aaron Finch, Hussain emphasized New Zealand's consistently strong performances. &ldquo;New Zealand doesn't falter easily. As Finch pointed out, they are a team that reliably delivers and never defeats themselves,&rdquo; said Hussain.
Highlighting their remarkable consistency, New Zealand has reached the latter stages in the last three ODI World Cups, contesting the finals in 2015 and 2019 and the semi-finals in 2023. "New Zealand's roster features resilient cricketers who give their all every game, which is why they frequently appear in semi-finals and finals," Hussain remarked.
As the teams prepare for Sunday's final, the anticipation is high for a fiercely competitive match-up on the global stage.

For New Zealand, it was their third heaviest defeat in terms of runs and also their third lowest total at the U-19 World Cup stage.

ICC U-19 World Cup: Musheer excels again as India pummel New Zealand by 214 runs	

For New Zealand, it was their third heaviest defeat in terms of runs and also their third lowest total at the U-19 World Cup stage.


For New Zealand, it was their third heaviest defeat in terms of runs and also their third lowest total at the U-19 World Cup stage.

Musheer Khan's superlative showing in the ongoing ICC U-19 World Cup continued as his second hundred trampled New Zealand by 214 runs in a Super Six encounter on Tuesday.
After India's top performer Musheer's 131 backed by opener Adarsh Singh's 52 powered India to a huge total of 295/8, left-arm spinner Saumy Kumar Pandey (4/19) and pacer Raj Limbani (2/17) ripped apart New Zealand's top order to bowl them out for a mere 81 in 28.1 over.
Limbani struck on the first and the fifth ball of New Zealand innings to ensure momentum remained India's way throughout had parsimonious opening spell of 5-0-12-2.
India vice-captain Pandey finished with splendid figures of 10-2-19-4 as he knocked the stuffing out of Black Caps' chase.
Left reeling at 27/4 in the Powerplay, New Zealand could never really stage a comeback as Indian colts like every edition are looking favourites to win the tournament.
For New Zealand, it was their third heaviest defeat in terms of runs and also their third lowest total at the U-19 World Cup stage.
Earlier, Musheer flayed New Zealand attack with his second century of the ICC U-19 World Cup while opener Adarsh Singh struck 52 as India posted a stiff 296&ndash;run target.
On a perfect batting wicket at the Mangaung Oval, Musheer tore apart the Kiwis bowling line-up to become the first batter in the current competition to breach the 300-run mark, going past Pakistan's Shahzaib Khan with his stupendous effort.
En route his 131, Musheer blasted 13 fours and three sixes off just 125 balls and once showed admirable temperament to up the ante just when it was required.
Busy at the crease constantly, the 18-year-old Musheer motored on from one end unleashing strokes in all directions, while he began with an upper-cut for a four.
His innings was spruced with fine running between the wickets and ended in the death overs when he was looking to accelerate.
Musheer and Adarsh carried out a fine recovery job with a 77-run stand for the second wicket after an early blow for India.
Adarsh took charge of attacking the bowlers as he looked good while driving on the rise and also played the pull-shot with elan.
It was only unfortunate that he failed to keep a drive in check when Zac Cumming (1/37) teased him with one outside off.
A thick edge off Adarsh's bat flew to Oliver Tewatiya at point in the 18th over, which ended the charge for the left-handed Indian opener who made 52 off 58 balls with six fours.
There also was some disappointment in store for India captain Uday Saharan who failed to convert his start and was dismissed for 35 (57 balls, 2 fours). He had two fifties on trot at the start of the tournament.
Saharan, nevertheless, did a fine job of consolidating the innings for his side, putting on 87 with Musheer which also happened to be the best stand for India in this game.
However, Musheer's century and Adarsh's contribution at the top notwithstanding, India lost wickets in a flurry towards the end to fall short of breaching the 300-run mark, finishing at 295 for eight.

Watch Highlights: Mohd Shami takes 7 as India reach World Cup final after Kohli's record 50th ODI century

<h2>Shami rattled the Black Caps with 7 wicket haul to hand India their straight 10th victory in the ongoing World Cup.&nbsp;</h2>

A record-breaking performance by Virat Kohli and Mohd Shami helped India successfully seek revenge for the bitter loss in the 2019 World Cup semifinal as they marched into the 4th ODI World Cup final with a thumping 70-run win against New Zealand at Wankhede.&nbsp;
After winning the toss, Rohit Sharma's aggressive start provided the foundation for India's success. With Kohli's stellar 117 off 113 balls that helped him go past Sachin Tendulkar's 49-ODI centuries, Shubman Gill's 80, laced with 8 4s and 3 6s and Shreyas Iyer's special 70-ball 105, India set an imposing target of 398.
Later, Shami got rid of dangerous openers Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra early in the innings, but the Kiwis showed intent with a crucial 181-run stand between captain Kane Williamson (69) and centurion Daryl Mitchell. India needed a wicket to break the duo's momentum and incredible Shami came to rescue the team from the precarious situation with 2 wickets in the 33rd over. He ousted Williamson and Tom Latham in the same over which also saw him complete 50 wickets in the World Cup. From thereon, he alongside Kuldeep Yadav rattled the dispirited Black Caps who lost wickets in quick succession. The pacer picked 3 more wickets to complete his 7 wicket haul and also hand India their straight 10th victory in the ongoing World Cup.&nbsp;

Virat Kohli played a nearly flawless innings of 95 off 104 balls, anchoring India's chase throughout.

Rohit Sharma won the toss and sent the New Zealanders to bat first who had a shaky start with two early wickets. But owing to some major fielding lapses from India, Daryl Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra flourished with a partnership of 159 runs thereby bringing the Kiwis back into the game. Shami, however, made sure to restrict them to 273 with a stunning 5-wicket haul.

Washington Sundar shone bright for India as he took two wickets for 22 runs and then returned to smash a 28-ball 50, albeit, in a losing cause.

India skipper Hardik Pandya said they were left "surprised" by the grip and turn the pitch offered but admitted the team paid the price for allowing New Zealand to walk away with too many runs. <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/ind-vs-nz-1st-t20i-india-succumb-to-new-zealand-s-spin-trap-lose-by-21-runs-1674838863037">India suffered a 21-run loss in the opening T20I</a> after New Zealand posted a challenging 176 for six with the last-over thrashing of Arshdeep Singh for 27 runs proving to be the game-changer.
Chasing the total, India batters couldn't negotiate the spinners as they managed 155 for 9.
"No one thought this wicket would play like that, both teams got surprised but New Zealand played better cricket. The new ball was turning more than the old ball. The way it turned and bounced surprised us," Pandya said during the post-match presentation.
Suryakumar Yadav (47) and Hardik Pandya (21) had conjured up hope of a successful chase when they had a little partnership going but all hopes were dashed after both departed in quick succession.
"Till me and Surya were batting, we thought we would pull it off. In hindsight, we ended up giving 25 runs more than the par." Washington Sundar shone bright for India as he took two wickets for 22 runs and then returned to smash a 28-ball 50, albeit, in a losing cause.

"The way Washington bowled, batted and fielded, it was more like Washington against New Zealand than India against New Zealand. If he and Axar can continue the way they are, it will help the Indian cricket a lot." New Zealand skipper Mitchell Santner also said it was "a bit of a shock" for everyone the way ball spun in the second innings. "But it was a great game and it was pretty tight at the end, we saw a lot of runs in the ODI series and it was nice to see the ball spin a bit more," he said.
The win was set up by Devon Conway (52) and Daryl Mitchell (59), who smashed commanding fifties.
"I don't think we were ever safe, 170-odd was nice with Daryl hitting a couple over and he batted extremely well, we knew we had a sniff with 180.
"It was nice to chip some wickets in the powerplay and we had troubled with that in the ODIs," added Santner, who had 18 dot balls in his 2 for 11.
"At the toss we were going to bowl because we know chasing is so good over here and especially with the dew. That's always the challenge (on captain using himself).
"You don't want to be seen doing the easy overs and stuff like that. We knew it was spinning in the powerplay and it was nice to chip one out." Mitchell, who was adjudged Player of the Match, for his sensational innings, said he trusted his skills and tried to keep it simple.
"It is nice to contribute to a score which helps us win a game. I thought the way the boys bowled at the end was pretty special. It is nice to take some momentum into the rest of the T20 series," he said.
"The guys who went in early said it was pretty difficult against spin because of the tacky nature. It was my job to build a partnership and then take the onus on myself after Conway's departure.
"For me it is being really present and really clear, keeping it simple as possible and trusting my skills, not every time it comes off in T20 cricket but it is always nice when you get a few off the middle." India and New Zealand will face off in second T20 on Sunday in Lucknow.

 'They need to quickly learn to...': Gautam Gambhir's advice to young cricketers

Gautam Gambhir recommended Ishan Kishan to work a lot against playing spin.

In the 2 T20Is of the 3-match series against the New Zealanders, the Indian batting order has failed to negotiate their spin attack. Hardik Pandya-led team's tactics against the spin haven't impressed ex-cricketer Gautam Gambhir, who has now come up with a suggestion for the young cricketers especially Ishan Kishan, who has been struggling in the shortest format of the game. Expressing his concern over Ishan Kishan, who hit a blazing double century against Bangladesh last month, Gambhir highlighted how Kishan &amp; other young stars need to rotate the strike more often than just going for the sixes. 'I think he needs to quickly learn to rotate like this, because on a wicket like this, it's not going to be easy to go down the ground and hit the sixes', said Gambhir. For Kishan, who was ousted by Michael Bracewell in the first T20I after scoring 4 off 5, and was rendered a run out in the next T20I, the 41-year-old said, 'He still has to work a lot against playing spin because people will use a lot of spin against him in the first 6 overs. The sooner he improves against spin, the better it will get for him especially in the shortest format.&rsquo;

I think innovation-wise, skill-wise, I haven't seen a better player than Suryakumar in the game, Ponting told ICC

Legendary Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting has called India middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav a trailblazer, who could inspire a new breed of players to emulate his style of play and take T20 cricket to "another level" globally.
Suryakumar, 32, was recently named the ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year after he became only the second batter in the world to score 1000-plus runs in a calendar year in the shortest format of the game. Also Read<a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/cricket/ind-vs-nz-1st-t20i-it-was-more-like-washington-vs-new-zealand-than-india-vs-new-zealand-1674876194227"> IND VS NZ 1st T20I: 'It was more like Washington vs New Zealand than India vs New Zealand'</a>
Surya scored two centuries and nine half-tons on way to amassing 1,164 runs in 2022, only second behind Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan who leads the charts with 1,326 runs in 2021.
"I think innovation-wise, skill-wise, I haven't seen a better player (than Suryakumar) in the game," Ponting told ICC on Friday.
"What it's going to do as well, a lot of other players are going to try and do the things he's doing and it's going to add another level of skill to the T20 game all around the world.
"Someone said during the IPL this year (2022), there are going to be guys who are going to try and do exactly the same as what Surya's doing, and that's going to be great for the game," added the Australian great.
Surya's 1,100-plus runs last year came in 31 T20Is at an astonishing strike rate of 187.43 and an average of 46.56, which also propelled him to the top of the ICC Men's T20I Batting Rankings.
Ponting also called the India cricketer as the greatest innovator in the shortest version, comparing his style of batting with South African white-ball specialist AB de Villiers and former Australian wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist.
"He's probably doing it better than anyone's ever done it right now. We talk about players that can score 360 degrees &hellip; some of the shots he's hitting back behind the wicket-keeper and over fine leg are just remarkable." Ponting said he noticed Surya's innate talent a few years back in the IPL where he was making flicking the ball over deep-backward square look so easy.
The former skipper added that the batter has taken his stroke-play to another level and is playing some really audacious shots like flicking short balls for sixes over the wicket-keeper's head.
"Five or six years ago, he started doing that (innovating) a lot in the IPL. He was very good at flicking the ball over deep-backwards square and getting the ball over fine-leg," Ponting said.
"Surya's now been able to hit short balls on the way up and flick short balls over the keeper's head and they're going for six, not just for four." Ponting said that initially he thought Suryakumar would never touch such heights, but his work ethics and strenuous regimen have resulted in his success.
The cricketer scored the third-most runs at the T20 World Cup -- 239 -- in Australia, which was only behind Virat Kohli (296) and the Dutchman Max O'Dowd (242).
He then continued the good work in the T20I series against New Zealand and Sri Lanka to climb to the second-highest T20 batting rating ever recorded -- 908 points.
"I didn't think he'd get to the level he's got to, to be quite honest," Ponting said.
"He's worked as hard as he has -- you can probably tell by his body shape. He's probably fitter than he's ever been, being around the Indian set up with the likes of Kohli and Shreyas Iyer and these guys, who are exceptionally fit young guys.

It is always better to play the maximum number of games to get ready for a big event- Shami

The Indian cricket team has put additional focus on workload management ahead of the ODI World Cup at home but senior pacer Mohammed Shami believes there is no better way to maintain optimum fitness than playing matches regularly.
Earlier this month, the BCCI had announced that the National Cricket Academy will work in tandem with the IPL franchisees to monitor the fitness of the "targeted" players for the ODI World Cup in October-November. Shami is a key member of the squad.
"I always prefer playing matches over practice. It is always better to play maximum number of games to get ready for a big event. Load is being managed and it is being managed properly.
"I just hope the main players stay in a good zone (ahead of the World Cup)," said Shami after a match-winning spell in the second ODI against New Zealand here on Saturday.
Shami troubled the New Zealand batters with his seam movement to end with figures of three for 18 in six overs. The visitors were bowled out for 108 and India chased down the target in 20.1 overs.

Mohammed Siraj too made the ball talk. His senior partner Shami said the wicket was damp early but conditions were not overtly bowling friendly.
"It was a damp wicket, but it was important to keep good line and length. All the bowlers were disciplined and the result is for all to see.
"Conditions were not as good as it seemed. They got out early but conditions were not overtly bowler friendly. We dismissed them cheaply by bowling a testing length." On his role as a senior bowler in the team, he said: "As far as I am concerned, I always talk to the bowler. I know he is putting in the effort but, at times, you don't get the desired results and that can improve if you talk to your bowling partner. That is the role I like to play when I am bowling.
"My role hasn't changed since I have come into the team (laughs). The only thing is to keep working on the fitness and diet," said Shami.
With the series already in the bag, Shami said the team could give opportunities to uncapped Rajat Patidar and Umran Malik in the third and final ODI in Indore on Tuesday.
"The management will take a call on that but they can be given an opportunity now that the series is won," he said.
Shami also said that it is too early to finalise the squad combination with the World Cup more than six months away.
"If people still doubt the Indian team despite the results it has given in the last four to six years, World Cup is still long time away. We need to play a lot of games and need to try out more players before that," Shami added

'If you make someone a captain, you have to give him a fairly long rope to make sure he will start performing', - Kapil Dev

Indian selectors' attempt at rejigging the T20I captaincy is quite evident with Hardik Pandya getting more chances at leading the team in different T20I series. But amid all the clamour around India's captainship in the shortest format of the game, World Cup-winning skipper Kapil Dev has a piece of advice for the Indian selectors.&nbsp; While speaking to Gulf News, Kapil Dev who backed Hardik Pandya for leading the team in the T20I format said that even if he loses a series, he shouldn't be given the threat to be removed or removed instantly. 'If you make someone a captain, you have to give him a fairly long rope to make sure he will start performing', he added. Pandya after leading his IPL team to win in their debut season has been getting the responsibility of leading the team in T20Is and so far the 29-year-old has led the team to win in all 3T20I series he has captained.&nbsp;

The ire befell on Rishabh Pant who has not performed off late in white ball cricket.

Speaking in the post-match conference of the 3rd ODI that was abandoned due to rain, Dhawan said, &lsquo;Overall you have to see the larger picture and who is your match winner. You analyse and your decisions are based on that, Sanju Samson has been doing really well in whatever opportunity he got. But sometimes you got to wait for your chances because the other player has done well and we know based on Pant's skill that he's a match-winner. So you need to back him when he's not doing well&rsquo;
