Champions Trophy: New Zealand’s 251 May Not Be Enough To Stop India In Final, Feels Nasser Hussain

By IANS News March 09, 2025 • 18:56 PM View: 536

Champions Trophy: Former England captain Nasser Hussain feels New Zealand’s first innings score of 251/7 in the final of the 2025 Champions Trophy is ‘not enough’ to stop India from claiming the trophy for the third time.

India’s spinners called the shots yet again on a slow pitch with just two degrees of turn as they restricted New Zealand batters from scoring big in most of the innings. Blackcaps started well before losing their first five wickets to Indian spinners. It took half-centuries from Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell to drag the Kiwis to a defendable total.
