Confident Kiwis ready to implement key learnings after last week’s loss to India

After claiming Player of the Match honours for his blistering semi-finals century, Rachin Ravindra revealed that his side would spend time reflecting, before traveling to Dubai and start ‘switching on’ for the Champions Trophy Final.

Well, that time has come.

New Zealand have now made it back to Dubai, having played India there less than a week ago.

The Black Caps fell short in that battle for top spot in Group A, but will undoubtedly be better for the experience. It’s all about how they bounce back from that loss and what they learned – how the pitch played, in comparison to the wickets in Pakistan, and which tactics worked.

Solving those riddles could well be the difference in Sunday’s tournament decider.
