New Zealand and India to play ICC Champions Trophy cricket match

Virat Kohli scored a record fifty in the one-day international and Mohammed Shami took seven wickets as New Zealand suffered a crushing defeat a year ago, but a lot has happened since then, with India boasting such bright stars as Rishabh Pant, captain and leader Rohit Sharma and vice-captain Hardik Pandya. The Kiwis are desperate for revenge, but whether they can do so will be found out by buying tickets for the New Zealand v India ICC Champions Trophy.

Cricket is the most popular sport in both New Zealand and India, and its popularity is growing rapidly every year. In both countries, cricket is a national sport, so representatives of the two countries simply cannot help but participate in such a representative and prestigious tournament as the ICC Champions Trophy. Moreover, it is not held very often: once every four years. And the rules are such that someone will go home, and someone will have to go to the final.

India is the strongest team in the world, but New Zealand is currently only eighth in the Test team rankings, ODI rankings and Twenty20 rankings. The New Zealanders have reached the ICC Champions Trophy final only twice, winning silver once and winning back in 2000. This championship was remembered by both fans and players, and, of course, such a success would like to be doubled in the current championship. However, at the moment, the national team includes such stars as Tom Latham. The player has already reached the fifty-mark for the 32nd time in ODI matches, helping the team to victory in Karachi. Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner are a very well-coordinated New Zealand duo who always show first-class team play. Now they want to repeat their success of 2000, but will India allow it?
