Sun Mar 09 12:30:00 UTC 2025: **India and New Zealand to Clash in Champions Trophy Final**
Dubai, UAE – India and New Zealand will face off in the final of the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 on Sunday, March 9th, at 9:00 GMT, at the Dubai International Stadium. The match, a rematch of a group stage encounter won by India, will see the two teams battle for the coveted trophy after both secured semi-final victories – India defeating Australia and New Zealand overcoming South Africa.
The final will be played in Dubai after India’s semi-final win; had they lost, the venue would have been Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium. A reserve day, March 10th at the same time, is in place should weather conditions interrupt play. A minimum of 25 overs per side is required for a match to be considered official in the knockout stages. In the event of a washout on both days, the trophy will be shared, mirroring the 2002 result where India and Sri Lanka were declared co-champions due to rain. Any tied match will be decided by a Super Over.
Extensive BBC coverage includes ball-by-ball commentary across various platforms and live text commentary, video highlights, and updates on their website, app, and social media channels. Sky Sports will broadcast the match live in the UK.
