New Zealand vs India: Weather report for match No.12 in Champions Trophy 2025 at Dubai International Stadium, Dubai

The India vs. New Zealand cricket rivalry, while perhaps not as intensely heated as some others, is set to pose a unique blend of respect and fierce competition, especially within the context of ICC tournaments.

The dynamic game is once again set to be reignited in their Champions Trophy 2025, slated to take place on March 2 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

While the Men in Blue often hold the upper hand in the bilateral ODI series, the Black Caps have consistently proven their ability to thwart those patterns when it comes to ICC events. The 2019 ODI World Cup semi-final in Manchester, a heart-wrenching loss for India, serves as a stark reminder of New Zealand's "giant-killer" reputation.

The forthcoming Champions Trophy clash between these two powerhouses carries a significant weight, as India and New Zealand showcased strong form heading up to this game.
