The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final is set to witness an electrifying showdown between India and New Zealand on March 9 (Sunday) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Both teams have displayed exceptional form throughout the tournament, making this summit clash one of the most anticipated cricketing battles of the year.
India and New Zealand’s Journey to the Final
Team India secured a spot in the Champions Trophy final for the third consecutive time, a historic achievement, after defeating Australia in the semi-finals. Meanwhile, New Zealand booked their place in the final by outclassing South Africa with a 50-run victory, where Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson smashed brilliant centuries.
When it comes to ICC knockout matches, New Zealand has a psychological edge over India. The Kiwis have previously defeated India in three major ICC knockout games:
- 2000 ICC Champions Trophy Final
- 2019 ICC World Cup Semi-final
- 2021 ICC World Test Championship Final
With such a record, the Black Caps will be confident going into this high-stakes final. However, India, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, will be determined to break this jinx and claim their third Champions Trophy title.
