The India vs. New Zealand contest is truly worthy of a Champions Trophy 2025 final, as the match could go either way in the current scenario. There is also a possibility of the match ending in a draw. Since this is a title clash, you might be curious about what happens if the match ends in a tie.
India thumped Bangladesh, Pakistan, and New Zealand in the group stage. In the semi-final, they defeated the mighty Australian lineup and are now eyeing their third Champions Trophy title.
New Zealand has also played some wonderful cricket. Yes, they had a below-average outing with the bat against India, especially when they failed to capitalise on the momentum in the final overs and lost the match. However, apart from that game, they have been producing fantastic performances across all departments, batting, bowling, and fielding. They defeated Pakistan and Bangladesh and, despite losing to India, they convincingly thumped South Africa in the semifinal.
Now, two deserving teams are in the final, and all eyes are on March 9, when this big showdown takes place. The Dubai International Stadium is set to host the final. While there is almost no chance of rain and the weather is expected to be clear, have you ever wondered, who will win if the India vs New Zealand Champions Trophy final is tied? Well, the answer is quite interesting, take a look!
Who wins if India vs New Zealand Champions Trophy final is tied?
Considering two scenarios, one where the India vs New Zealand Champions Trophy final ends in a tie and another where rain washes out the final. If the final ends in a tie, the most popular cricket system, the Super Over, will be used to determine the winner. However, if rain washes out the final and no result is possible, including on the reserve day, both teams will be declared joint winners.
For the rain interruption scenario, the Champions Trophy final has a reserve day, which means if rain interrupts the match on March 9, play can continue on the following day to decide a winner. However, it is also important to note that, as per ICC regulations, a minimum of 20 overs per side must be bowled to produce a result. As mentioned earlier, according to several weather forecasting websites, the weather is expected to be clear, allowing for an uninterrupted Champions Trophy 2025 final.
