India and New Zealand are set to face off in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 semifinal on Sunday, March 2 at 1pm (09:00 GMT) at the Dubai International Stadium. India secured their spot after beating Pakistan, while South Africa advanced to face the loser of this match. India has been dealing with concerns over captain Rohit Sharma’s hamstring and fast bowler Mohammed Shami’s ankle injury. Shami has been India’s primary bowler in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, who missed the tournament due to a back injury. New Zealand, meanwhile, has a strong batting lineup, and all-rounder Daryl Mitchell is back fit despite missing the win over Bangladesh due to illness. The match is expected to be a contest of spinners, as Dubai’s pitch has favored spin bowlers.
