New Delhi. Even though the Indian team may have defeated New Zealand in the league stage in the ICC Champions Trophy, it will forget that in the final. India and New Zealand will face face-to-face at Dubai International Stadium in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy. India defeated Bangladesh, Pakistan and New Zealand in the league stage and made it to the semi -finals and confirmed the final ticket by defeating Australia. On the other hand, New Zealand defeated Pakistan and Bangladesh and got a chance to face India in the final by defeating South Africa in the semi -finals. New Zealand has a better fast bowling attack and its batsmen are also coming to score bigger than India.

India’s team is better according to circumstances but New Zealand cannot be taken lightly. Both teams have 50-50 chance to win. This claim may seem slightly pulled because India is better according to the circumstances. he/she has played top class cricket but New Zealand’s smart strategy and the ability to remain calm under pressure makes him/her a big danger.

Apart from this, they are also well aware of the circumstances like India. New Zealand has always performed well against India in ICC knockout matches, defeated them in three matches and if they increase their knockout winning number then it will not be surprising.

India’s spinner attack better
India’s strength in the final will be the quartet of their spin bowlers Varun Chakraborty, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel. New Zealand also has its own weapons. Apart from dangerous Mitchell Santner, Michael Bracewell and Glenn Philips can change the direction of the match against the Indian team. India’s batsmen have performed brilliantly in this tournament, but New Zealand is not far behind.

New Zealand batting strong
Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Tom Latham and Will Young have already scored centuries. Ravindra has scored two centuries in the tournament. New Zealand is ahead of India in terms of fast bowling, Matt Henry, Kyle Jaymison and William O’Rurek have done well. Team India is landing with Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya, in such a situation, the matter may deteriorate if the third fast bowler is needed.

New Zealand better in fielding
The fielding of the Indian team does not last anywhere in front of New Zealand. The team has more than one player who can bring a difference of 20 to 25 runs from fielding. Glenn Philip, Kane Williamson and Rachin Rabindra are also a great fielder. Captain Mitchell Santner also specializes in craving the opponent for one run in the field.
