Champions Trophy Final: IND vs NZ Live Updates
Daryl Mitchell is holding steady at the crease, but his scoring rate is pretty slow. He took 91 balls to reach his fifty, marking his slowest fifty in a match. It’s also the slowest fifty of this tournament. The previous slow record was set against India by Jake Ali, who took 87 balls. The Indian spinners have been on point, making it tough for batsmen to find gaps without taking risks. With wickets falling, Mitchell has had to play it safe. As it stands, New Zealand is at 178 for 5 in 42 overs. They will look for a strong finish from Mitchell and Bracewell to aim for a target of over 240 runs.
Ravindra Jadeja has been impressive once again. He’s spinning the ball well and consistently hitting good lengths. Over the course of the tournament, he bowled 41 overs, took 5 wickets, and conceded just 179 runs. His performance ranks him among the most economical bowlers in ICC tournament finals, except for the 1983 World Cup final where bowlers could bowl a maximum of 12 overs. Harbhajan Singh holds the record with figures of 10 overs, 27 runs, and 3 wickets against Sri Lanka in the 2002 Champions Trophy.
New Zealand is at 172 for 5 after 40 overs, and Mitchell will hope he isn’t needed much longer in the chase.
