India, who qualified for the WTC final for the second successive time, had suffered an 8-wicket loss to New Zealand in the inaugural edition that was held at the Rose Bowl in Southampton, England in June 2021.
Rohit Sharma-led India head into the match on the back of a 2-1 series win at home against Australia, who also last played in the red format during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 in India earlier this year.
When the two sides met in India earlier this year, spin played a huge role, but the conditions may be different at the Kennington Oval in London, which will host a match as a neutral venue for the very first time.
