Rohit Sharma &amp; co. need 252 runs to win India their third Champions Trophy title and seventh ICC championship title. Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy shone for India as they picked two wickets each and also helped stifle New Zealand&#8217;s run-scoring through the middle overs.<\/p>\n<p>New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and opted to bat first on a dry Dubai pitch. Rohit Sharma equalled an unwanted record as he lost his 12th and the team&#8217;s 15th consecutive toss in ODIs. Rohit matched Brian Lara&#8217;s record of losing 12 tosses in a row\u2014 the most in ODIs.<\/p>\n<p>Putting India in to bowl first, New Zealand openers Rachin Ravindra and Will Young made the most of the powerplay overs as New Zealand raced to 51 runs in just 7 overs. However, Varun Chakravarthy weaved his magic yet again and broke the crucial partnership. Soon enough, Kuldeep Yadav followed as India bagged Ravindra&#8217;s wicket to leave India 69-2 in 10.1 overs.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Innings Break!<\/p>\n<p>Clinical bowling effort from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TeamIndia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#TeamIndia<\/a> bowlers as they restrict New Zealand to a total of 251\/7 in the Finals of the Champions Trophy! <\/p>\n<p>Scorecard &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OlunXdzr5n\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/OlunXdzr5n<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/INDvNZ?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#INDvNZ<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ChampionsTrophy?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#ChampionsTrophy<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Final?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#Final<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/F4WmHJ4wJR\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/F4WmHJ4wJR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u2014 BCCI (@BCCI) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BCCI\/status\/1898713875992002833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">March 9, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>This is a breaking story.
