India will play the most exciting and nerve-wracking Champions Trophy Final tomorrow (March 9, 2025) against New Zealand at Dubai International Stadium. India has approached the Champions Trophy 2025 Final by beating World Cup 2023 Champions, Australia in the Semi-Final match on March 4, 2025, whereas New Zealand defeated South Africa on March 5, 2025. India remains unbeaten and would be looking eager to win this upcoming Final. The Men in Blue have also beaten Kiwis during their Final approach increasing their winning chances to a maximum level.
Black Caps looks busiest during last weeks in the subcontinent and won the trie-series in Pakistan before approaching the Champions Trophy final. The team won an unbeaten tri-series played with Pakistan and South Africa in Lahore and Karachi and only faced a defeat in the ICC Champions Trophy.

India vs New Zealand Pitch Report
The surface is assumed to assist spinners increasingly. As per reports, the same pitch utilized against Pakistan will be available for the Final clash and if India vs Pakistan has anything to move across, the Spinners have a ball out there. If there is no dew, running behind the score can be so difficult in the second innings.
Most Probable Playing 11
India
India has moved to the previous matches with 4 spinners and 2 pacers with Hardik Pandya starting with the new ball as Varun Chakravarthy, being the 4th spinner. That looks like the perfect squad for the situations in Dubai and they may not intervene with the winning playing 11.
There is a possibility for 1 change as Kundeep Yadav didn’t perform up to the mark in the last two matches. He can be replaced with a pacer either Arshdeep Singh or Harshit Rana. Rohit is recognized as a big hope for the upcoming Final tomorrow.

New Zealand
Like India, the Kiwis will move on with the winning combination and Devon Conway will stay on the bench. They also have 4 spinners like the Indian team – Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, Rachin Ravindra, and Glenn Philips which means they have the right person for the situation here.
Get an injury over Matt Henry who has a sore shoulder while fielding during the semifinal. The player has been getting well and might be available for selection but last-minute options can be Jacob Duffy or Nathan Smith This can be a great match between 2 left-arm spinners, left-arm wrist spin and right-arm mystery spin. Will Young can also be an explosive last-minute choice who destroyed India in their home grounds a few months ago and he has been in great form recently.
New Zealand Predicted Squad 11 – Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner ©, Tom Latham, Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell, William ORourkee, Glenn Philips, Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson, Will Young, Kyle Jamieson.
