IND vs NZ: How Shreyas Iyer proved the difference in rare Champions Trophy clash dominated by bowlers
FirstpostShreyas Iyer’s 98-ball 79, in which he brought up his slowest ODI fifty till date, proved to be the difference between the two sides with the Mumbaikar playing a key role in helping India recover from 30/3 to post a competitive 249 on the board. Shreyas Iyer raises his bat after completing his half-century in 75 deliveries during the Champions Trophy Group A match between India and New Zealand in Dubai. AP The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 witnessed its final group match on Sunday, with India finishing at the top of Group A after defeating New Zealand by 44 runs in Dubai. However, it is also important to note Shreyas Iyer’s hard-fought 79 off 98 deliveries and the difference it made in a match dominated by bowlers from both teams — a first for the ninth edition of the Champions Trophy, which has witnessed either one-sided or batting-heavy contests so far.
