Champions Trophy 2025: Confident New Zealand aim to stop formidable Indian juggernaut in Dubai
The Statesman Siliguri
|March 09, 2025
On 18 December, 2024, Mitchell Santner took charge as New Zealand's white-ball captain, with his first major leadership assignment being the 2025 Champions Trophy.
Cut to now, and Santner is now all set to lead the Blackcaps in the tournament's title clash against India in Dubai on Sunday.
New Zealand has always been known as a side punching above their weight consistently in ICC tournaments and giving any opposition team a stiff challenge.
Here's a SWOT analysis on the Santner-led New Zealand ahead of them playing the 2025 Champions Trophy final.
Strength: New Zealand's strength lies in both the batting and bowling departments. With the bat, Rachin Ravindra has been in prime form, as seen by his two centuries in the tournament. Kane Williamson has been at his premier best in the last two games, while Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, and Glenn Phillips lend more strength to the Blackcaps batting line-up.
