I think everyone must have watched yesterday’s match, especially all Indian fans. Yesterday’s match was the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 between New Zealand and India. It was an absolute thrill to watch the match because India defeated New Zealand by 4 wickets. Yesterday’s match had everything—excitement, suspense, joy, and a bit of sorrow for New Zealand as well because they put in their entire effort to win, making the match a tough and evenly contested battle rather than a one-sided affair.
What happened in yesterday’s match?
Winning the toss, New Zealand chose to bat and put 251 runs on the board for the loss of 7 wickets. Then, in the second innings, India came to dominate with the bat and chased down the target by scoring 254 runs for the loss of 6 wickets, defeating New Zealand by 4 wickets.
Who dominated from India’s side?
If we look at it, the entire team performed well in yesterday’s match and won the trophy for India, but some Indian players were simply outstanding. Rohit Sharma, Kuldeep Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Varun Chakravarthy, and Hardik Pandya—these players, with their explosive batting and bowling, led India to the trophy.
key performers from team india :-
- Rohit Sharma :- 76 runs in 83 balls
- Shreyas Iyer :- 49 runs in 62 balls
- Hardik Pandya :- 18 runs in 18 balls
- Kuldeep Yadav :- 2 wickets off 40 runs in 10 overs
- Varun Chakaravarthy :- 2 wickets off 45 runs in 10 overs
What was the reason for New Zealand’s defeat?
Well, New Zealand is not a weak team, and they weren’t any less in yesterday’s match either. But the biggest reason for New Zealand’s defeat was the absence of Matt Henry from the team. Due to a shoulder injury, Matt Henry was not present in the New Zealand squad for yesterday’s match. He also looked emotional as he couldn’t contribute to the team in the final match. Another reason for their loss could be their batting performance, which didn’t click in the match. Losing early wickets prevented New Zealand from putting up a total of 270-280 runs on the board, and they had to settle for a high score of just 251 runs.
Conclusion
Now, what more can be said, and what can be done? The one who had to win has already won. Wins and losses are a part of every match—when one team loses, only then does the other team win. So, best wishes to New Zealand for next time, and congratulations and celebrations to Indian fans for this victory!
