- India have won their last six men’s ODIs against New Zealand; the last and only time they recorded a longer winning run against the Black Caps in the format was an 11-match span from January 1986 to December 1988.
- This will be the fourth time India and New Zealand have met in the Final of a men’s ODI tournament; India won their inaugural fixture (Sharjah Cup – 1 April 1988) while the Black Caps have won each of their last two meetings at this stage (ICC KnockOut – 15 October 2000 and Videocon Triangular Series – 6 September 2005).
- New Zealand have won four of their last six men’s ODIs (L2) at major ICC tournaments (World Cup & Champions Trophy) after losing each of their four such fixtures prior; each of the Black Caps’ two defeats in that span have come against India (15 November 2023 – World Cup and 2 March 2025 – Champions Trophy).
- India lost in their most recent appearance in the Final of a men’s ODI tournament (19 November 2023 v Australia – ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup); they will be looking to avoid consecutive defeats in such fixtures for the first time since July 2008.
- New Zealand won in their most recent appearance in the Final of a men’s ODI tournament (14 February 2025 v Pakistan – Tri-Nation Series); the Black Caps will be aiming for consecutive wins in such fixtures for the first time since September 2005.
- New Zealand (53.3%) and India (53.1%) have recorded the best bowling dot ball rates of any teams at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025; although, India (4.6) have logged the best economy rate of any team in the tournament while the Black Caps (5.1) are ranked third in this category (Bangladesh – 5).
- India (10/10) are one of two teams with a 100% catch success rate during the death overs (41st-50th) at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 (Pakistan – 1/1); in addition, they’re the only team to have made more than one run out when fielding during this period (2) and they’re the only side that’s logged a stumping (1).
- New Zealand bowlers have claimed 19 of their total 36 wickets (excluding run outs) in ICC Champions Trophy 2025 during the middle overs (overs 11-40), the most by any team; their bowling strike rate of 37.9 during this period is the joint most of any team (also South Africa) while their bowling average of 30.3 in this same phase is the best of any team.
- Matt Henry (10 in 2025) is one away from equaling Mitchell McClenaghan (11 in 2013) for the most wickets for New Zealand in a single ICC Champions Trophy tournament; he logged figures of 5-42 in his most recent ODI innings against India (2 March 2025) – his best against the Men in Blue in the format.
- India duo Shreyas Iyer (13% of 244 balls faced) and Shubman Gill (16% of 199 balls faced) and New Zealand’s Tom Latham (15% of 205 balls faced) have the best batting false shot rates of any players at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 (min. 5 balls faced).
- Rachin Ravindra has scored 28% of New Zealand’s runs when he’s played at ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the best rate of any player for a team in the tournament; he’s scored 100+ in two of his last three ODI innings (112, 6, 108).
- Varun Chakravarthy (India) has recorded a bowling average of 13 at ICC Champions Trophy 2025; only Mohammed Shami (10.7 – ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023) and Ravindra Jadeja (12.8 – ICC Champions Trophy 2013) have logged better averages for India (min. 7 wickets) in a single edition of major ICC Men’s ODI tournaments (World Cup and Champions Trophy).
- Kane Williamson (New Zealand) has scored 60+ in all his three ODI innings against India (67, 69, 81) in major ICC Men’s ODI tournaments (World Cup & Champions Trophy); in fact, he is one away from equaling Ricky Ponting (4 for Australia) for the most 50+ scores against India in such fixtures in the history of the format.
- Rohit Sharma (India) has scored 104 runs during the powerplay at ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the most of any player and one of only two to have logged 80+ in this category (Travis Head – 93 for Australia); although, Rohit has logged 2.60 runs per scoring shot during this period, the fourth best of any player (min. 50 balls faced) in the tournament behind Travis Head (2.91 for Australia), Babar Azam (2.69 for Pakistan) and teammate Shubman Gill (2.63 for India).
- Virat Kohli has a batting average of 95.3 in knockout games in ICC Champions Trophy history (286 runs from 5 innings), the highest of any India batter to have faced at least 100 balls in such games; Kohli scored 117 runs in his last knockout game against New Zealand at an ICC men’s ODI event (semifinal of ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023) and has logged 15 scores of 50+ runs against the Black Caps in the format, the second most by any batter (Ricky Ponting – 18).
