New Zealand's top-order batsman Daryl Mitchell has confirmed his availability for the high-stakes group match against India after recovering from an illness. Having missed the game against Bangladesh, Mitchell is eager to return for what promises to be a thrilling encounter in Dubai.

Both New Zealand and India have secured their places in the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy, remaining undefeated in the tournament so far. Sunday's clash will determine which team tops Group A and shapes their path in the knockout stages.
