Nueva Zelanda tiene una prueba decisiva en India en la Liga de Campeones de 2025, las semifinales.
India will face their toughest competition, New Zealand, on March 2 at the Dubai International Stadium in Champions Trophy 2025. India will have to be wary of the Kiwis, who are having a great campaign with zero matches lost. Although India is usually seen as a strong contender in ICC tournaments, underestimating the Black Caps could be a mistake.
Led by Mitchell Santner, New Zealand has the capability to challenge India’s dominance, and here are three key reasons why.
3 reason why New Zealand can beat India
New Zealand’s spin attack
The Dubai pitch has been favorable for spinner and this is the major benefit for India in last two games. New Zealand have much better spinners who could thread Indian batter. Mithcell Santer is in form who could trouble Virat Kohli and other India batters. Santer has dismissed Kohli three times in the ODI format.
New Zealand’s balance side
Rachin Ravindra can be a game changer in the game. he could contribute from both bat and bowl. Rachin is beocming ICC tournamnet master, he has been excellant in the Champions Trophy. New Zealand’s greatest advantage is their abundance of top-tier all-rounders. Players like Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Glenn Phillips, and Daryl Mitchell can make a strong impact with both bat and ball.
This depth adds significant balance and adaptability to the squad. Having multiple all-rounders gives Santner various options for team selection and strategic decisions.
India could rest players
India might rest some players for the dead rubber, including Mohammad Shami, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja. They are unlikely to go all out since the match holds little significance. Rohit Sharma, who suffered an injury, could also be given a break to ensure he is fully fit for the semi-final.
