It is going to be a high-stakes face-off as undefeated India is set to battle a record-breaking New Zealand in the highly-expected Champions Trophy finale. After a tournament during which India presented dominant displays, they will seek to seal their campaign with an historic triumph.
The focus will be on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, with speculations surrounding their ODI futures. A win might provide a fairytale ending to their storied careers, and a defeat could lead to tough decisions for the leadership of Indian cricket.
In contrast, New Zealand, renowned for their potential to excel on the big stage, are looking to write another script of a memorable victory. With world-class all-rounders and an unshakeable fighting spirit, they present a dangerous threat to India’s unbeaten streak.
