New Zealand to keep ‘open mind’ for Champions Trophy final with India

Blackcaps’ captain Mitchell Santner ready to adapt in Dubai final against Champions Trophy favourites India.

New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner says mid-match communications and adaptability regarding the pitch in Sunday’s Champions Trophy final against India could be key to success.

The final in Dubai will decide the winner of the eight-nation tournament played in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates.

India have played down suggestions they will have the advantage having won all four of their match in Dubai, where they have been based following the refusal to tour Pakistan due to political tensions.

“We have to kind of go in with an open mind of how the pitch will play, and then adjust accordingly,” Santner told reporters on Saturday.

“Get those communications back to the groups, what you think a good score is. It could be a 300 wicket, we don’t know yet, but it could also be a 250 kind of winning score.

“So, I think there will be periods throughout this game on both sides where you’re under pressure for a period of time. But if you can withstand that and get through, it might get easier,” he added.

The highest total at Dubai in this 50-over tournament was Australia’s 264 in the semifinal and India overhauled the score with 11 balls to spare.

New Zealand went down to India by 44 runs in the last group meeting at the venue where the Black Caps restricted the opposition to 249 before being dismissed for 205.

“We’ll learn from that,” said Santner. “We know India are probably going to go in with the same team. So, I think we have to be ready and be adaptable for what’s coming.”

Will spin win the day for India or New Zealand?

India have played four spinners in their last two matches on a sluggish pitch that has aided slow bowlers.

India’s Varun Chakravarthy returned figures of 5-42 with his mystery spin in the last match with the Kiwis and remains a potent threat in the final.

“He’s obviously a world-class bowler we’ve seen it here and obviously in the IPL and that little bit of mystery,” said left-arm spinner Santner.

“It was the first time some of the guys have been facing him. They’ll learn from the other day. If the pitch plays a similar way, it’s going to be a challenge along with all three of their other spinners.”

The tournament’s tangled schedule, with teams flying in and out of the UAE from Pakistan while India have stayed put, has been hugely controversial.

New Zealand beat South Africa in the semi-final in Lahore and flew back to Dubai.

“It was a bit of a shock,” Santner said on the temperature in the two cities.

“Jumped up 10 degrees in the last four days for us. But I think, obviously, coming off a semifinal win, the guys are in pretty good spirits.”

Fast bowler Matt Henry is racing against time to recover for the final after he landed awkwardly on his right shoulder while fielding in the semifinal.

“Matt’s going to have a bowl just to see how he is,” said Santner. “Yeah, and then I guess we’ll make a call after that.”

New Zealand will be looking to win the tournament for the second time, having done so in 2000 when they beat India in the final.

New Zealand also beat India in the inaugural World Test Championship final in 2021.

“Hopefully, we’re third time lucky,” Santner said.

“But, we know India are going to be a challenge tomorrow.”
