India continued their winning run in the Champions Trophy 2025 with a 44-run victory over New Zealand. On a slow and turning pitch, the Indian spinners dominated the Kiwi batters, making run-scoring extremely difficult. Batting first, India posted 249/9 with Shreyas Iyer (79), Hardik Pandya (45), and Axar Patel (42) playing vital knocks. Matt Henry (5/42) was the standout bowler for New Zealand.

In response, New Zealand struggled to build partnerships as Indian spinners kept striking at regular intervals. Kane Williamson (81 off 120) fought hard, but he found little support from the other end. Varun Chakravarthy (5/42) was the wrecker-in-chief, while Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel chipped in with crucial breakthroughs. Eventually, the Kiwis were bowled out for 205 in 45.3 overs, giving India a comfortable win.
