Kohli aims for records as India faces New Zealand in a crucial Champions Trophy 2025 match.

India and New Zealand are set for a pivotal showdown in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on March 2 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Both teams have already secured their semifinal berths, but the outcome of this match will determine the top position in Group A.

Virat Kohli, India`s star batsman, is on the brink of breaking significant Champions Trophy records. With 651 runs in the tournament, he needs just 52 more to surpass Shikhar Dhawan`s record of 690 runs. Additionally, Kohli has the chance to become the first player to achieve seven fifty-plus scores in the Champions Trophy if he reaches another half-century. His recent performance against Pakistan, where he scored a remarkable century, showcased his form as India chased down a target of 242 runs in just 42.3 overs.

Reports indicate that Indian captain Rohit Sharma may be rested due to a hamstring issue, with Shubman Gill likely stepping in as captain. This match promises to be an exhilarating contest between two formidable teams, both eager to build momentum heading into the knockout stages.

In Group B, Australia has confirmed a top-two finish after a washout against Afghanistan, while South Africa can secure the top spot with at least one point against England. The Champions Trophy 2025 continues to deliver intense competition, with teams like India, Pakistan, Australia, and England vying for the prestigious title until the final on March 9.
