The first face-off between India and New Zealand in an ICC knockout match was in the 2000 Champions Trophy (ICC Knockout Trophy) Final at Nairobi in Kenya. The Men in Blue, led by Sourav Ganguly, lost the title clash by four wickets. India posted a total of 264/6, thanks to a century by Sourav Ganguly (117) and Sachin Tendulkar’s 65-run innings. However, their efforts went in vain as the Indian bowlers failed to defend the total.
The Black Caps banked on Chris Cairns’ match-winning, unbeaten 102-run knock to help the side chase down a 265-run target with two balls to spare in the final over. Despite Venkatesh Pradesh’s tight spell of 3/27 in seven overs, India couldn’t defend the target, and the Men in Blue fell short, losing the 2000 Champions Trophy final by four wickets.
