The Champions Trophy 2025 final is to be held between india and new zealand on march 9 in Dubai.

Team india is considered a strong contender for victory in the final, but 2 Pakistani veterans have advised new zealand for the title clash. The statements of shoaib akhtar and Shoaib Malik must have created panic in Team India.
Forget that Team India...
india defeated new zealand in the group stage match. In such a situation, Team india will also have a mental edge over them. Meanwhile, shoaib akhtar advised new zealand, "New Zealand should forget that india is in front of them or that they are a weaker team than them. You should not even think that you have any weakness. Mitchell Santner is a good captain, I have seen passion in him. Being a captain, he wants to win the title."
rohit sharma will have to be kept quiet
shoaib akhtar said that rohit sharma will play attacking cricket in the first 10 overs. He will attack the spin bowlers, but in such a situation, Mitchell Santner will have to handle his team. Akhtar told that according to him, the final match seems to be going in India's favor 70-30, but if new zealand plays with full strength, then it can win the title.
Shoaib Malik's advice
Shoaib Malik gave advice to the new zealand team by giving the example of steve smith, saying, "The innings played by steve smith shows how to control the indian spinners. Smith took full advantage of having one more fielder in the circle and kept finding gaps and running singles and doubles. Malik also said that if any new zealand batsman crosses the 20 or 30 run mark, then he will have to ensure that he plays an innings of 80, 90 or 100 runs.
