D-Day has arrived. After 12 weeks of non-stop action and 14 matches, the Champions Trophy 2025 will culminate on March 9 with India and New Zealand colliding in the final of the tournament scheduled at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
India and New Zealand faced each other earlier in the competition in the last match of the group stage. India emerged victorious on that occasion with Varun Chakaravarthy's five-for helping them successfully defend 249 runs.Â
India head to the summit clash with a win over Australia in the semi-final. Chasing 265 runs, India lost both their openers early. However, Virat Kohli rose to the occasion and soaked the pressure as his 98-ball 84 led the Men in Blue to a four-wicket win.
New Zealand defeated South Africa by 50 runs in their semi-final bout. Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson’s centuries took their total to 362/6. The Kiwi bowlers chipped in with regular wickets in the second innings as South Africa finished their innings at 312/9.

It is going to be a repeat of the Champions Trophy 2000 final. In the match that was played at Nairobi, New Zealand got the better of India, winning by four wickets. They lifted their first ICC trophy.
Talking about the upcoming fixture, India are the favourites. They are riding on a winning chariot, having won all of their four games. While their batters are coming clutch at important situations, their bowlers too are delivering as per the expectations. With the pitch in Dubai heavily favouring the spinners, they have a spin attack that can dismantle any batting line-up.
New Zealand are not far behind. Their only loss in the tournament came when they were up against Rohit Sharma and Co. The concern for them is the likely unavailability of Matt Henry, who injured his shoulder in the match versus South Africa.
