Spinners should get good help at the Dubai International Stadium as India and New Zealand look to make the most of the conditions. The pitch has favoured spin bowlers so far in the tournament, so it will be interesting to see how it works on the match day.

The contest should go ahead without any rain interruption as both India and New Zealand hunt for glory in the Champions Trophy 2025. The pleasant weather conditions should favour the bowlers, while the temperature would range between 25 and 30 degrees on the match day.
