IND vs NZ: The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has witnessed some sensational fielding display with the players raising the bar high to new heights. In the last group stage between India and New Zealand, there were two such instances which left everyone stunned inside and outside the cricket field. First, Glenn Phillips took a stunner to dismiss Virat Kohli in his 300th ODI game. Later, near the end of the first innings, former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson took a magical catch to dismiss Ravindra Jadeja.
Oppositions should be scared of playing aerial shots against New Zealand. The delivery was back-of-a-length outside off, and Jadeja cut it to Williamson's left at backward point. The ball was dipping, but he swiftly moved low and completed the catch in style with his less dominant left hand.

Invited to bat, India scored 249 for 9 against New Zealand in their last Group A match of the Champions Trophy on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium.
Shreyas Iyer top-scored for India with 79 off 98 balls while Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel chipped in with 45 and 42 respectively.
For New Zealand, Matt Henry (5/42) grabbed a five-wicket haul to be the most successful bowler.
"I think the way we came out there and the surface helped and put India under pressure. Very happy with the total but still need to do a big job with the bat. We talked about getting wickets and the pressure was getting us wickets. There are some ebbs and flows on this wicket and if we can put the pressure back on, that should help us," said Matt Henry after taking fifer against India in Dubai.
Both India and New Zealand have already made it to the semifinals after winning both their earlier matches, and Sunday's winner will top Group A.
