Champions in 2002 and 2013, India have cruised into the final as they seek to become the first team to win the ICC Champions Trophy three times. Expertly led by captain Rohit Sharma, they won all three group games before securing a four-wicket victory over Australia in the semi-finals.
Virat Kohli was the star in that clash, with his typically composed 84 proving crucial as India chased down Australia’s target of 265 with 11 balls to spare. The legendary batsman has amassed 261 runs in the tournament and will be a prized wicket in the final.
New Zealand were equally impressive in their semi-final as the secured a thumping 50-run victory over South Africa. Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson both scored centuries, while Matt Henry grabbed two wickets to take his total to 10 for the tournament.
Henry has been superb throughout the competition and returned impressive figures of 5-42 against India in the group stage. However, that was not enough to secure the victory as India eased to a 44-run win.
Will India once again get the better of the Black Caps? Or will captain Mitchell Santner lead his team to victory? Tune in to find out and read on for details on how to watch India vs New Zealand live streams from anywhere in the world, and potentially for free.
