As New Zealand and Afghanistan gear up for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, cricket enthusiasts are eager to catch every moment of the action.

But where and how can fans in India watch this match live? Here’s everything you need to know.
The Kiwis enter this warm-up match with confidence after winning a tri-nation series against Pakistan and South Africa. However, their squad faces a minor setback as Ben Sears has been ruled out due to injury, with Jacob Duffy stepping in as a replacement.
