India and New Zealand are all set to clash in the Champions Trophy 2025 final, which is expected to be a thriller as both teams are in top form and eager to deliver their best. The Indian team displayed consistency by winning all their group games and then defeating Australia in the semi-finals, thanks to Virat Kohli’s measured 84, proving once again that sometimes a well-constructed 80 can be more valuable than a century.
On the other hand, New Zealand remains a formidable side in ICC tournaments. While they have consistently showcased brilliance, they are still searching for that final touch that every team desires. Over the years, they have reached multiple finals in limited-overs cricket but have fallen short of securing major ICC titles.
With everything at stake, the Champions Trophy 2025 final promises to be an intense. Take a look at the date, venue, start time, and all the crucial details of this highly anticipated clash.
