India vs New Zealand Head to Head in ODI, Champions Trophy 2025: IND vs NZ Records, Stats, Results in Dubai International Cricket Stadium

India vs New Zealand Head to Head in ODI, Champions Trophy 2025: India will take on New Zealand in their final league game of the Champions Trophy 2025 campaign. The much-anticipated encounter is scheduled for March 2 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Having secured back-to-back wins against Bangladesh and Pakistan, India have already sealed their place in the semi-finals. However, a win against New Zealand would confirm them as the Group A toppers, giving them an edge heading into the knockout stage.

With the semi-final scheduled for March 4, India might consider rotating a few key players to manage workloads. Reports suggest that Rohit Sharma could sit out, paving the way for Rishabh Pant to get some match time. Additionally, Arshdeep Singh may replace Mohammed Shami to keep the pace attack fresh. While KL Rahul and assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate have hinted at potential changes, India will still look to maintain their winning momentum heading into the knockouts.

Meanwhile, New Zealand, led by Mitchell Santner, will also be eyeing a top-place finish. Historically, the Kiwis have troubled India in ICC events, and with players like Michael Bracewell (4 wickets vs Bangladesh) and Rachin Ravindra (century vs Bangladesh) in top form, they remain a formidable opponent. A victory over India would give them confidence heading into the semi-finals.

India have been dominant in the tournament, registering a commanding six-wicket victory against Pakistan on February 23. Their campaign started with an emphatic six-wicket win over Bangladesh, where Shubman Gill smashed a match-winning century and Mohammed Shami took a five-wicket haul. Having remained unbeaten so far, they will look to keep their perfect record intact against New Zealand.
