India secured a 44-run victory over New Zealand in their final Group A match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, setting up a semifinal clash with Australia. Varun Chakravarthy’s brilliant five-wicket haul (5/42) dismantled New Zealand, who were bowled out for 205 while chasing 250. Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets, while Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, and Ravindra Jadeja grabbed one each. Earlier, Shreyas Iyer (79), Hardik Pandya (45), and Axar Patel (42) helped India post 249/9. For New Zealand, Matt Henry’s 5/42 went in vain.
