IND vs. NZ LIVE Score, Champions Trophy 2025 Final

Live score for India vs. New Zealand, Champions Trophy 2025 Final: Today marks the end of an unforgettable competition as India and New Zealand square off in an attempt to win the ICC Champions Trophy, capping off incredible performances over the previous three weeks.

Controversy has plagued this event from the beginning, months before the first ball was even bowled, and has persisted throughout. There is no doubt that this is a set of players who will be eager to win two consecutive ICC tournaments and get this specific monkey off their back, but controversy also brings a lot of emotion and drama, and India has been at the center of that.

This match will take place in Dubai, a pitch and surface that hasn't witnessed as much explosive run-scoring as those in Pakistan and has made room for spin to play a far bigger role. Naturally, a week before this final, these two teams had already faced off against one another under these circumstances. Even though there was no chance of elimination, both teams would learn a lot from India's 44-run victory that day, especially from New Zealand's batting display that came close to breaking away and making the chase but was unsuccessful.
