Indian batting performance today has been less than expected, considering the way they have been playing the the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 so far.
Some expect this to be intentional for India to choose their opponents in the semi-finals, while others are chalking it up to the powerful performance of New Zealand’s bowlers and fielders.
In either case, India is yet to reach 100 on the score board, as it lingers at 78-3 after 20 overs.
