New Delhi:
India vs New Zealand Final: In the Champions Trophy on Wednesday, New Zealand defeated South Africa by 50 and secured a ticket to face Team India in the final of the mega event. The title match will be played on 9 March. Certainly, the journey of Team India has been very memorable so far. Under this, he defeated the arch-rivals Pakistan and won all the matches and made it to the finals. This also includes victory against the Kiwis who reached the finals. It is obvious that India has psychological benefits, but the title match is the title. And if India is as much as the title, then it will have to overcome many challenges of New Zealand. Let us know about the 4 big challenges, from which it will be very difficult to win the title of Indians without crossing it.
1. Will Ravindra deal with Rachin?
The Indian spinner is wreaking havoc on the spinners’ helpful pitch, so veteran Mohammed Shami has also done the work so far. But the final match is such that the final match on one side, the rest of the match on one side. Ravindra Rachin, who scored a century against South Africa, has become a big challenge for Indian bowlers. This latfty of Indian origin has so far scored two centuries in the mega event. And he has scored 226 runs from two centuries in 3 matches at an average of 75.33. Rachin Ben Docket (227) is the second highest run -scorer.
2. Matt Henry will be able to answer the top order
The Kiwi of the long height was blown away by the Indian top order in the right -handed pacer league match. Gill Aur Kohli had no response to Henry, so Puchalla also fell and Matt Henry took 5 wickets in 8 overs. Currently, Henry remains the best bowler of the Champions Trophy by taking 9 wickets from 4 matches till the final. And in the title war, he is a big challenge for India as much as Ravindra Rachin, so that India will have to find a way to deal
3. Santner-Bracewell quota
It is true that India is full of spinners. And he is in a position of advantage as compared to the Kiwis in this case, but Mitchell Santner has proved to be a big headache for India in the recent months. It is very difficult to score runs against Santner, so not giving wickets against him is also a big challenge. This lab has taken 7 wickets in four matches, so off-spinner Bracewell is also supporting Santner shoulder to shoulder with 6 wickets in the same match. In such a situation, it is going to be a third big challenge for Indian batsmen to overcome their 20 overs quota.
4. Williamson caught the form on time
Former captain Williamson did not work much in the league matches, but he scored a century in the semi -final against the title battle against South Africa and achieved the form at a perfect time. And from here, how dangerous will Williamson be on a particular day or in the title war, this child knows. Certainly the Indian bowling staff will have to prepare a “plan special” to overcome this challenge.
