ICC Champions Trophy Predictions and Discussion 2025

[Rubel007]

Anyway, I am quite worried about the final match of ICC Champions Trophy. Keep bet against India seems like a fool' on the other hand  New Zealand is in good form at the moment. Any team can win. One thing is certain that India have players who can keep going till the end. They have good bowlers too. Even New Zealand can score 362 against South Africa but it is almost certain that New Zealand will not be able to score that much against India, so betting against India seems like a fool's bet to me. What are your thoughts on this?

I thought we would see Australia and New Zealand perform against each other in the final match. But Australia didn't let that happen by losing to India in the semi-final.
Now my opinion is that even though New Zealand has performed well recently and has managed to reach the final, I still think we will see India win the final match because India is the only team in this tournament who has been undefeated since the beginning. Moreover, almost every player in India is in that good form which I think is perfect for them to win the final match.

I have bet on NZ as outright because odds were juicy during start of tournament (were ~8 on NZ, ~2 on India), India is my home country so it's ok if they win while if NZ wins it'll be financial win for me.

Lol. A very nice strategy. I remember seeing some people make such bets when Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia in the previous World Cup. I don't remember the exact odds at the time, but many people who placed such crazy bets on Saudi Arabia won a huge amount.
But if I were to say about this match, you might be financially unhappy and should be happy only that your country won, because the Indian team is in better form than New Zealand.

India is playing against New Zealand in Dubai final ICC Trophy, both team was Better performance in the previous matches, New Zealand has their ability to bounce back from losses. Especially Kane Williamson and Glenn Phillips making significant contributions. Expected its batting-friendly condition, if the New Zealand batting first they have ability to post big total.

In the previous match against South Africa, Rachin Ravindra scored 108 and Kane Williamson scored 102. They are good batsmen, it is doubtful whether they will be able to score that much against India's bowlers. If New Zealand does not score a huge 350 runs against India, then India can easily win. But a lot also depends on how well Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips bowl.

Well, NZ batsman have scored plenty against Indian bowlers before (test series against India comes to the mind where they whitewashed india), don't think Indian bowlers are invincible or anything.

New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat first, But Indian bowlers restrict the batting lineup 251 with 7 wickets down in 50 overs, Kuldeep Yadav has indeed taken two crucial wickets, dismissing Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson in consecutive overs. This is a massive game-changer for India, as both Ravindra and Williamson are key players for New Zealand. New Zealand indeed needs early wickets to secure this match.

In this match, New Zealand lost where there was a possibility of losing. They could not do anything against the Indian bowlers. Their small collection was able to keep India under a lot of pressure. If a few more wickets had fallen quickly, then there would have been confusion about the result of the match. Looking at India's batting, it seems that if a target of 300 runs could have been given to the team in the match, then it would have been a bit of an advantage for the team. Kane Williamson did not do well in the match where he needed to do well. Although New Zealand started well, after the fall of one wicket, that decline could not be stopped. That is why the team's situation has become so bad.

Actually, what I thought happened in this match, New Zealand team lost to India but in the middle of this match, we got a little twist that when Indian team lost their five wickets, many thought that Indian team will lose but they were able to recover from that and beat New Zealand team.
Anyway, Congratulations to Indian team they didn't missed the chance in this champions trophy.

NZ looked hopeless when Indian openers were destroying them (mainly Rohit) but once Gill fell and soon after Kohli, they got glimmer of hope that they have got chance and well they tried but Indians did well in the end.

[Rubel007]

Rohit's devastating batting in the beginning was the main reason for New Zealand's disappointment and I think it was natural to be disappointed at that moment. The low score and the aggressive batting of the opponent were not positive for New Zealand. If they could have brought Rohit back quickly, then New Zealand could have had a chance. After all, New Zealand could not have scored  that was needed to win the final, which is why they easily lost the match. New Zealand had a very good performance in the last few matches and their cricket has improved a lot, but it is not enough against the Indian team.
