In the final, which took place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on March 9, 2025, India defeated New Zealand by four wickets to win the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.

India is now the most successful team in the history of the competition after winning the Champions Trophy for the third time.

Michael Bracewell (53 not out) and Daryl Mitchell (63) made significant contributions to New Zealand's aim of 252 runs, which they set when they batted first. Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy, two of India's spinners, were crucial in limiting New Zealand's total. 

With a dominant 76-run response, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma spearheaded the chase and was awarded Player of the Match. India remained calm in the face of a late assault from New Zealand's bowlers, and KL Rahul, who is still undefeated at 34, led the side to victory with nine balls remaining.

India's journey to the final highlighted their supremacy, especially in the semi-final match against Australia, where a four-wicket victory was largely attributed to Virat Kohli's outstanding 84 runs.

Taking advantage of the spin-friendly conditions in Dubai, India's spinners continuously caused problems for the opposition teams throughout the competition.

This victory solidifies India's position as a dominant force in white-ball cricket and adds to their stellar record in ICC events.
