IND vs NZ Match Prediction: Who Will Win Today’s 12th Match of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 – India vs New Zealand?
India vs New Zealand in Champions Trophy 2025 is a dead rubber, but both teams will use it as preparation before the semifinals.
India and New Zealand are set to face off in the final league-stage match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at Dubai International Stadium. With both teams already qualifying for the semifinals, this match holds no impact on the standings.
India will use this opportunity to assess their squad and build momentum before the knockout stage, while New Zealand will look to adapt to the Dubai conditions, which could be crucial if they reach the final. The last time these teams met in an ODI was in the 2023 World Cup semifinal, where India secured a 70-run victory.
With no pressure of qualification, both teams might experiment with their playing XI. Despite being a dead rubber, we can still expect a competitive battle between two strong sides.

Pitch Report
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium is known for its sporting wicket that provides assistance to both batters and bowlers. With an average first-innings score of around 160-170 in T20 matches, teams often look to assess conditions before setting a target. Pacers get movement early on, especially under lights, while spinners become crucial as the pitch slows down. Dew plays a vital role in night matches, making it challenging for bowlers in the second innings. As a result, captains winning the toss generally prefer to bowl first to take advantage of the conditions and chase under better circumstances.
