IND vs NZ Dream11 prediction, enjoying XI, Champions Trophy dwell streaming, and Dubai Stadium pitch report

India will face New Zealand in their final Group A match of the Champions Trophy 2025 on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium. Although both teams have already secured semi-final spots, this encounter will determine the final group standings. New Zealand currently top the table with four points, while India also has four points but trails on net run rate.

India vs New Zealand matches have always offered something special. Sometimes, it clearly looks like New Zealand is almost invincible, especially in ICC tournaments. Over the years, they have done really well, it’s fair to say that they have come close many times to clinching the big silverware but have always fallen short, whether it’s the T20 World Cup, Champions Trophy, or ODI World Cup. Although they do have the Test mace now, their knockout struggles in white-ball cricket come into the spotlight time and again.

However, against India, their struggles often take a back seat, as they have almost always performed well. Yes, in the last 50-over World Cup, Team India broke the jinx, decimating the Blackcaps in the league stage as well as in the semi-finals. They will look to maintain their recent white-ball dominance against New Zealand.

Since many things will come today, especially the Champions Trophy semifinal matchups, take a look at all the crucial details and also check the IND vs NZ Dream11 team.

IND vs NZ Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has traditionally offered a balanced pitch, assisting both batters and bowlers. Early on, batters can take advantage of the true bounce, but as the game progresses, spinners tend to come into play, making stroke-making challenging. Pacers who can mix their variations well, especially slower balls and cutters, will also find success. There is no forecast for rain, with the chance of precipitation remaining as low as 1%. The temperature will range between 23 to 28 degrees Celsius during the day and around 18 degrees Celsius at night, ensuring ideal playing conditions.

India Probable XI vs New Zealand

Now, speaking about the Men in Blue, everything looks solid—from batting to spin bowling to fast bowling. The big question is whether Mohammed Shami will play or not. Although this is not a must-win match, it holds significance as it will determine the semi-final matchups. Since it is not an eliminator, India might have the opportunity to rest some players and give a chance to others from the bench. However, given that Rohit Sharma prefers to stick with a winning combination, we might see the same team taking the field as in the last two games.

New Zealand Probable XI vs India and Preview

Again, with New Zealand, things are going well as they are currently dominating on Asian pitches. They performed exceptionally well on Pakistan’s surfaces, even winning the tri-series by defeating the hosts. Now, they will look to make an impact in their last Group A match in Dubai. From Rachin Ravindra to Glenn Phillips, several players are in excellent form. They have strong batting depth and a lethal bowling attack capable of dismantling the opposition with ease.
