IND vs NZ: AI Prediction

Let’s see what AI is predicting about today’s India vs New Zealand final match at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

ChatGPT says, “India start as favourites, but New Zealand are always a dangerous opponent in ICC knockouts. If their bowlers perform exceptionally, they could pull off an upset. However, given India’s form and squad depth, I predict India will lift the Champions Trophy 2025.”

Google Gemini predicts, “If India's top order fires and their bowlers maintain discipline, they will be very difficult to beat. However, New Zealand have a knack for performing well in crucial matches, and their balanced lineup can pose a significant challenge.”

Grok predicts, “If India’s spinners exploit the pitch and Kohli or Shubman Gill fires, they’re slight favourites—say, 55-45. But if New Zealand’s top order clicks and Henry plays, their balance could clinch it. I’d edge toward India for their consistency and conditions, with Kohli likely topping runs (maybe 87).”

IND vs NZ: Fantasy team

Batters: Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell

All-rounders: Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Glenn Phillips

Bowlers: Mohammed Shami (C), Mitchell Santner (VC), Varun Chakravarthy
