India vs New Zealand, Champions Trophy final: Can Mitchell Santner’s underdogs beat Rohit Sharma’s title favourites? | Cricket News happymamay

The Champions Cup this Sunday is a repetition of the Champions League match last Sunday – although New Zealand will hope that it will not end with an accurate similar version.

Black hats fell to the defeat of 44 run for India in Dubai at the end of last week in the final match of the competition.

Now the sides meet again in the final. On the same day of the week, the same place and with many expect the same result.

India won all four matches in the tournament, which were all held in Dubai, with the team not sending to Pakistan hosted due to long political tensions.

They did not have to ride a plane – unlike New Zealand, who played in four different stadiums – allowing them to adapt to one group of conditions. In addition, most of them may say they have the best XI.

While India is looking forward to obtaining the second second white football title in nine months, after the 2024 T20 World Cup, New Zealand aims to secure the first of them 25 years ago, although it does not let this second census deceive you. The kiwis are always present or approximately.

They may not have tasted the glory of white football since the Champions Cup in 2000, but they reached five finals between then and now (two in the Fiftieth World Cup, one in the World Cup T20 and two in the Champions Cup) in addition to Ooods from the semi -finals.

“They outperform their resources and take advantage of them,” he says. Sky Sports’ Michael Atheon.

Do not delete New Zealand

As often this New Zealand team, they find themselves in the role of the weak – but they can definitely bite the proportions of India in the return match per week.

Rohit Sharma fees do not need to look back after a few months to see how dangerous their opponents-the black hat that records a 3-0 test in the Indian subcontinent, where India lost a series of red ball at home for the first time since England beat it in 2012.

The victory over South Africa, the 50 -year -old in the semi -finals, showed that New Zealand revolves around. Clinical, elegant and author – with the exception of the bowling his death, which was rough.

A ton of “The Great Future” Ratchin Ravenra – whom all hundreds of the five ODI came in the events of the International Criminal Court (two in this tournament, and three in the 2023 World Cup) – The Great Ken Williamson created a total of 362-6 but the shine was added by the fifties of the dynamic of Glen Philips and Daryl Mitchell in the final face.

Then Captain Mitchell Santrner hurried in that modest method, where he picked up 3-43 with his vibrant left, as the probase was restricted to 312-9 in the response.

The team captain removed the fighters, the TEMBA BAVUMA and Rassie Van Der Dussen for half a tablet after a large platform of a second, then he got Heinrich Klassen, who is likely to change the game in its depths for a period of three amid a decrease in South Africa 6-57.

However, this wikit came at a cost to New Zealand with Prime Minister Matt Henry Garing as his shoulder with hunting and now potential doubts of the final.

This will be a big blow to black hats with Henry-who evaporated in England Zak Crowley once after the time in a pre-Christmas test-which caused 5-42 against India in the group stage, including Kohli for 11, where Philips took a hunting in the jaw at a hidden point, and led 10 dozens in the tournament.

Speaking after two days of the final, the New Zealand coach, Gary Seted, said about Henry: “We have performed some surveying operations on him, and we will give him every opportunity to play. It is still a bit unknown, but we hope it will be fine.”

India has all the rules covered, including Chis AS Kohli

New Zealand may need Henry to be fit to win. They may need more magic from Philips in this field. In fact, they may need to get the perfect game. Certainly, they need the Bowling to have a better death than it was against South Africa.

In Lahore earlier this week, David Miller collected some of the lost delivery operations from Seamers Kyle Jamieson and Will O’Rourke, hit 48 of the last three games and helped himself over a century 67 balls. If New Zealand is loose in this side of the game against India, Hardic Pandia, for one, can have a field day.

Bolling was affected in India in its victory in the semi-finals of four years against Australia-Rohit men who determine their opponents over only 66 of the last 13 games once Steve Smith wandered by Mohamed Shami for 73 after charging the stadium.

India was definitely not in a group of well -known retired retirees at the time – the imposition of Glen Maxwell in the following to Smith means that Alex Carey was the only mixture of equal reputation at the end – and therefore it was not tested as it might have.

But there were few occasions in this tournament when I felt the absence of the injured Jaspert Pomra. Perhaps only against Bangladesh and Pakistan when the share that proved difficult to come in the medium term.

However, the damage to Bangladesh had already occurred with the tigers at first to 37-5, and the share of the share in Pakistan ultimately reached their competitors as they finally looked to accelerate it after performing a beating.

India has the winners all over. Shami leads the shipment of seam, then four very different voices-Varon Chakravarthy, who took 5-42 against New Zealand in the group stage meeting, Akar Patel, Ravindra Gadiga and Coldep Yadaf.

The average averages in Shubman Gill 60 with bats, Kohli’s greatest mixtures in ODI operating chases that can be at all, and Hardic’s allies’ strength with blade for hidden changes from speed with the ball.

KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer and Axar also made decisive striking contributions, while Rohit – like Kohli, the legend of this coordination – connects everything together as a leader and puts the tone with aggressive beating at the top of the request.

India’s favorites – but is history on the part of New Zealand?

India is a clear favorite. But this was also the case in the 2023 World Cup final against Australia in Ahmed Abad, and they were modest as due, mainly by a talented high -class dough in Travis Heid and Captain Al -Salam in Bat Kamins.

Can history repeat itself with Ravingra and Santner playing Head and Cummins, respectively?

New Zealand, mainly due to the fact that India 3-30 a week ago, will test the cricket months ago, won them in the World Championship for the test four years ago and defeated them in the semi-finals of the World Cup six years ago-but also because Quirk sporting might be about to be achieved.

Once again in 2000, New Zealand won the Champions Cup by beating India in the final, a few months before its 50 -year -old women’s team was guaranteed.

Now, a few months after their women’s team imposed the first T20 World Cup title, men find themselves in the Champions Cup final. Against India. Maybe it is supposed to be …

This weak may have a day.
