IND vs NZ Dream11 prediction

IND vs NZ Dream11 prediction Match 12 ICC Champions Trophy: This is the last group game of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, and it is a dead rubber as both India and New Zealand have qualified for the semi-finals after both sides won their first two matches against Pakistan and Bangladesh.

While this is a dead rubber, it’s still an important game in the context of momentum heading into the semi-finals and also because the team topping the group will face the second-placed side of the other group.

India have had a week’s rest, and New Zealand just one day fewer. Both sides are expected to come unchanged into this clash.

India vs New Zealand pitch report:

As seen in the two games here so far, the surface in Dubai is dry, slow, and low, assisting the bowlers significantly as the game progresses. It gets a bit better to bat on during the second innings. Eventually, the skill set and class of the players win games: India won one game while batting first and chasing in the other.

India vs New Zealand Dream11 Captaincy Prediction:

India opener Shubman Gill is our suggested Dream11 captain for this match, considering his sensational form. In his last five ODI knocks, he’s scored 406 runs with two centuries and two fifties, and against Pakistan, he was dismissed for 46 via an unplayable ball from Abrar Ahmed as he looked set for another fifty-plus score.

Gill has an outstanding record against New Zealand in ODIs: 10 innings, 590 runs, an average of 84, two centuries including a double hundred, and two fifties.
