IND's run rate drops off a cliff after early collapse

India vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: India scored their first boundary after 51 balls with Axar Patel breaking the shackles.

The going has been tough in the last few overs as India lost Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to go three down for 30 after being put in to bat. Rohit got off to a flying start but it was a rare single-figure score for Shubman Gill as he fell to Matt Henry in the third over. Kohli began with intent but it was that man again, Glenn Phillips, who took a one-handed screamer in 0.62 seconds to end Kohli's outing in his 300th ODI with a whimper.

New Zealand are bowling first with Mitchell Santner winning the toss. Rohit Sharma said that India would've wanted to bat first any way. India have rested Hasrhit Rana and included Varun Chakravarthy in their squad while New Zealand have brought back Daryl Mitchell for Devon Conway.
