Champions Trophy: Spinners Pick Five Wickets As India Restrict New Zealand To 251/7
Dubai International Stadium: India’s spinners called the shots yet again on a slow pitch with just two degrees of turn as they restricted New Zealand to 251/7 in their 50 overs in the 2025 Champions Trophy final at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.
Electing to bat first, New Zealand began well, before losing their first five wickets to Indian spinners bowling 38 overs collectively, with Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakaravarthy taking two wickets each, while Ravindra Jadeja had a scalp to his name.
It took half-centuries from Daryl Mitchell (a gritty 63 off 101 balls) and Michael Bracewell (a quickfire 53 not out off 40 balls) to help New Zealand cross the 250-run mark, as the Blackcaps smashed 79 runs in the last 10 overs.
