Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has picked India as the slight favorite but warned that New Zealand remains a serious threat. "If there's one team that can beat India, it's New Zealand," Shastri said in The ICC Review. "So India start as favourites but only just."

Shastri also identified key players who could influence the final, highlighting Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson, Mitchell Santner, and Glenn Phillips from the New Zealand squad. He described Ravindra as "immensely talented," praised Williamson’s "stability and calmness like a saint," and called Santner an "intelligent" leader capable of influencing the game.

The former India coach also pointed to Virat Kohli’s red-hot form as a potential game-changer. "Now (on) current form, Kohli. When these guys get hot and you let them get their first 10 runs, then they're trouble. Whether it's Williamson, whether it's Kohli," Shastri said.
