India vs New Zealand Dream 11 Prediction Today’s Match 12: ICC Champions Trophy 2025
Two wins in two matches for India and they have qualified for the semifinal. India beat Pakistan in the previous match on the back of a 51st ODI ton by Kohli. NZ have won both their games and also reached the semis. Ravindra’s 105-ball 112 was the pivot for New Zealand’s largely fuss-free chase of Bangladesh’s 236 which they completed with five wickets and 23 balls to spare. The winner of this will finish top of the table. Each team has only 3 games and it is virtual knockout cricket so expect Champions Trophy 2025 to be a high-pressure and well contested event. This promises to be a thrilling match.
