With outstanding leadership from Mitchell Santner New Zealand has booked a spot in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

1. Rachin Ravindra’s form:

Rachin Ravindra is in great form and has a chance to win the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Golden Bat award. In the semi-final against South Africa, he smashed a century as New Zealand won the game and booked a spot in the finals. Rachin Ravindra has given New Zealand a start which they needed. His batting skills have helped the team to get runs in power playovers.

2. Matt Henry’s injury:

Since Trent Boult and Tim Southee have taken retirement from ODI cricket Matt Henry is the key player of the team. Matt Henry was one of the main reasons for New Zealand getting into the finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He picked ten wickets in four matches. However, before the final game against India, Matt Henry injured his shoulder during the South Africa game while taking the catch of Heinrich Klaasen.

3. Consistency in ICC events:

New Zealand has recently played well in ICC events as they have always been in the top 4 spots. However, they are yet to win the ICC title in the white ball they got to win the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) against India. After 2000 they haven’t won ICC Champions Trophy.
