In the Champions Trophy, the match between India and New Zealand will be played in Dubai on Sunday in Group-A. The group stage will end with this match. This match is going to be interesting as it will decide the table topper of Group-A. The undefeated Indian team will focus on playing spin better. In this match against New Zealand, those players who are sitting out till now may get a chance. There is most doubt over Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami playing. In such a situation, Arshdeep Singh may get a chance in place of Shami. At the same time, if Rohit does not play, then Shubman Gill can be seen captaining. Rishabh Pant can be played in place of Rohit.
Now India will face the challenge of Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracewell, which will also be the toughest test for spin in this tournament. Both Kiwi spinners are in good form and can prove to be more effective on the Dubai pitch. Indian batsmen have been playing big shots against fast bowlers by taking singles and doubles off spinners, but now they have to face Santner and Bracewell for 20 overs. Glenn Phillips can also prove to be economical against left-handed batsmen.
India (IND) Possible Playing 11: 1. Rohit Sharma(C), 2. Shubman Gill, 3. Virat Kohli, 4. Shreyas Iyer, 5. Axar Patel, 6. Lokesh Rahul(WK), 7. Hardik Pandya, 8. Ravindra Jadeja, 9. Harshit Rana, 10. Mohammed Shami, 11. Kuldeep Yadav
New Zealand (NZ) Possible Playing 11: 1. Devon Conway(WK), 2. Will Young, 3. Kane Williamson, 4. Rachin Ravindra, 5. Tom Latham(WK), 6. Glenn Phillips, 7. Michael Bracewell, 8. Mitchell Santner(C), 9. Kyle Jamieson, 10. Matt Henry, 11. William O Rourke
The Dubai pitch is considered to be very slow. Usually, spin bowlers get help here, however, in the last two matches, India's fast bowlers have taken 11 wickets here. Talking about the last 5 ODIs played in Dubai, the team chasing has been victorious on four occasions. If we look at the overall record on this ground, the team batting first has been victorious 22 times and the team chasing on 36 occasions. In the last matches, the fast bowlers have also got a slight swing from the new ball. In such a situation, Mohammed Shami can also be seen wreaking havoc.
