India and New Zealand ICC Champions Trophy 2025 matches in Dubai will be played on 2 March today. On the eve of the match, Team India’s assistant coach Ryan Ten Doshe has exposed the strategy for the match against Kiwis. He says that he wants to keep the bowling line-up fresh and fit before the semi-final match. Let us tell you that India’s semi -final match will be played in Dubai on March 4. However, only after the match to be held today, it will be clear whether he will clash with Australia or South Africa.
Preparation to change bowling
In the press conference, Team India’s assistant coach Ryan Ten Doishe said, “We want all the players to be fit and healthy for the semi-final match. But we do not want the players to rest 2 and the day. So we can make a little change in the bowling line-up to make a good balance in the team. We want to win against New Zealand. Balance will be considered. “
Apart from this, he also indicated that no bowler of the Indian team may bowl 10 overs. This can be done to keep them fit for the semi -finals. He explained that if Team India had to bowl in the second innings against New Zealand, while the bowlers had to bowl first in the semi -finals after 36 hours, the players would be very tired.
The heroes of the last match will be on Virat-Srees and Gill
India’s experience against Santner and Philips in the domestic Test series last year has not been good. India had to face 3–0 defeat in it and now there are Bracewells with both of them who have bowled well in two matches so far. In such a situation, Shubman Gill in the form, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul, who scored an unbeaten century against Pakistan, will have to perform effectively.
Pitch will be helpful to spinners in Dubai
Before the commencement of the Champions Trophy, India was being criticized for the selection of five spinners in the team, but the dominance of spinners here has strengthened India. The pitches of this Dubai ground, which recently hosted ILT20, are no longer fresh, which is helping the spinners.
Indian spinners remain effective so far
In their two matches, India landed Jadeja, Akshar and Kuldeep and all three have been effective. He did not allow the batsmen to score openly in the middle overs and the economy rate has been below five. Despite the century partnership between Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel against Pakistan, these batsmen could not score much in the 11th to 34th over. Pakistani batsmen could not hit a fours for nine consecutive overs. New Zealand, however, has a spin -playing batsman like Kane Williamson, Will Young, Tom Latham, Devon Conway.
