New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat first against India in the Champions Trophy final

The Men in Blue are eyeing another ICC trophy in a row while the Black Caps want to end their mega event titles drought.

New Zealand will be aiming to end their mega event titles drought when they take on India in the Champions Trophy final at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.

The final will decide the winner of the eight-nation tournament played in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates.

The Men in Blue are eyeing another ICC trophy in a row while the Black Caps want to end their mega event titles campaign on a positive note.

The two teams will be meeting for the second time in the tournament with India winning the first encounter by 56 runs at the same venue.

It was a spin track where the Men in Blue played four spinners who bowled almost 40 overs in the match.

"I think we have to kind of go in with an open mind of how the pitch will play, and then adjust accordingly," Santner said.

"Get those communications back to the groups, what you think a good score is. Yeah, I think we obviously, it could be a 300 wicket, we don't know I guess yet, but it could also be a 250 kind of winning score. So, I think there will be periods throughout this game on both sides where you're under pressure for a period of time. But if you can kind of withstand that and get through, it might get easier."

The highest total at Dubai in this 50-over tournament was Australia's 264 in the semi-final and India overhauled the score with 11 balls to spare.
