Delhi: New Zealand opener Will Young Said that his team led by Mitchell Santner is set to repeat the success achieved by the team of Stephen Fleming 25 years ago. At the Champions Trophy 2000, New Zealand won its first ICC Trophy by defeating India by four wickets.
Talking to the ICC, Will Young said, “There were some veteran players in the team of that time, who have grown up seeing many players of our current team. It is very special that we are trying to achieve the same achievement after 25 years. ”
He further said, “When we were leaving for the tournament, Scott Styris were also present on the occasion of the announcement of the Champions Trophy team. He shared the experiences of the 2000 team. It was nice to know that New Zealand has done this before, and now it is our turn to pursue this tradition. Hopefully we can repeat the same success. “
Ready for final match
32 -year -old opener Will Young made a great debut in this tournament. He scored a century in the first match played against Pakistan, which gave New Zealand a good win.
Young said about the final against India, “There have been many big matches against India in recent years, such as the World Test Championship and the semi -finals of the 2023 World Cup. There is always a tough competition between us. “
He further said, “However, in the final it matters who performs better that day. We have to forget the past matches, play according to the circumstances and hope that our game and restraint will be able to win us. ”
