Having a good batting unit against the spinners is important. Here, we take a look at the list of three teams with the best spin-bashers in the middle order for the ICC 2025 Champions Trophy.
Nowadays, the power game is key to tackling spinners. Not just in T20s, this factor has an impact in the ODI format, as well. Therefore, teams specifically want a spin specialist in the middle order.
1) South Africa
You could tell that Heinrich Klaasen is the only spin hitter in the middle order for South Africa. That is true to an extent. However, he is such a great hitter of spin that he makes South Africa climb up this list. Against favourable spin matchups, David Miller is also destructive. If Tristan Stubbs gets a match, his improved spin game will help him do well.
2) India has a solid middle order for the Champions Trophy
India is one of the teams with the best spin-bashers in the middle order for the ICC 2025 Champions Trophy. Shreyas Iyer is extremely dangerous against spinners. KL Rahul can also play spin well. Now, Axar Patel plays at No.5. He is also good against the spinners. And we know how well Shubman Gill can play spinners in the middle overs.
3) New Zealand
New Zealand does not have one clear batter who will be the main man against the spinners. They have a combination of batters, all of whom can do well against the spinners. Daryl Mitchell is important in this regard. In ODIs, Kane Williamson is also good. Both Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra, if they are present until the middle overs, can also be useful.
