The Winning Game :
The game had its fair share of twists and turns. India was under pressure after Hardik Pandya was dismissed for 18, leaving the team with a tricky chase in the final overs. KL Rahul, however, grew in confidence, and Hardik eased the tension with a much-needed six off Rachin Ravindra. But New Zealand, never willing to give up, kept chipping away at India’s wickets, dismissing Axar Patel for 29, and leaving India at a precarious 5 wickets down.
As the match neared the final 10 overs, the excitement was at a fever pitch. Despite the pressure, India kept pushing forward. Shreyas Iyer was dismissed just two runs short of his half-century, adding another layer of drama. In a crucial moment, Kyle Jamieson dropped a catch off Iyer after he had hit Glenn Phillips for a six, an error that could have changed the outcome of the game.
However, Iyer and Axar Patel steadied the ship, forging a fifty-run partnership that provided India with much-needed stability. With nerves calmed and the finish line in sight, India remained focused and determined, securing a memorable victory and lifting the Champions Trophy once again.
