It has been a hectic few days for New Zealand, who have had to make multiple trips between Pakistan and Dubai for their Champions Trophy engagements. Last Sunday, they played their last league match against India and immediately rushed back to Lahore for the semifinal on Wednesday and were back in Dubai late Thursday evening.
Thus, it is quite understandable that they chose to rest and recuperate on Friday and have decided to have just one practice session on the eve of the final on
Saturday.
