ICC Champions Trophy 2025: India vs New Zealand final highlights
Rohit Sharma and his men have created history as they beat New Zealand by four wickets in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy final, lifting their second ICC trophy in the span of 12 months. This win also makes India the first-ever team to be crowned ICC Champions Trophy winners three times.
Skipper Rohit Sharma (76) was the key factor behind India’s win over the Kiwis today, but small cameos from the middle order proved why the Men in Blue remain one of the toughest batting sides in world cricket. India also avenged their 2000 Champions Trophy final loss, where Stephen Fleming-led New Zealand defeated them in the final.
New Zealand innings summary:
1st to 10th over:
New Zealand came out to bat first after winning the toss. India kept things tight for the first three overs, but after that, Rachin Ravindra decided to free his arms and score some quick runs. Varun Chakaravarthy got the wicket of Will Young (15) in the eighth over, but the Kiwis dominated the first phase, reaching 69 for 1.
11th to 20th over:
India made a strong comeback after the 10th over with the help of Kuldeep Yadav, who dismissed Rachin Ravindra (37) and Kane Williamson (11) in quick succession to put New Zealand on the back foot. Indian bowlers kept the pressure on the Kiwi batters, who could only add 39 runs while losing two wickets, as the scoreboard read 101 for 3 at the 20-over mark.
21st to 30th over:
New Zealand tried to build a partnership, but Ravindra Jadeja trapped Tom Latham (14) lbw in the 24th over to keep India ahead. While the Men in Blue failed to take any more wickets in this phase, they conceded only 34 runs, with New Zealand reaching 135 for 4 at the 30-over mark.
31st to 40th over:
Daryl Mitchell continued to stride forward and got support from Glenn Phillips (34), who played some big shots before being dismissed by Varun Chakaravarthy. New Zealand added 37 runs for the loss of one wicket, entering the final 10 overs at 172 for 5.
41st to 50th over:
Daryl Mitchell (63) tried to accelerate in the final 10 overs but eventually lost his wicket to Mohammed Shami. Kiwi skipper Mitchell Santner (8) then ran himself out. However, Michael Bracewell (53 not out) took the Indian pace duo of Shami and Hardik Pandya to the cleaners, as New Zealand added 79 runs for the loss of two wickets in the last 10 overs, finishing their innings at 251 for 7 after 50 overs.
India innings summary:
1st to 10th over:
India, in the chase, got off to a great start as Rohit Sharma played in his trademark aggressive style, with India adding 64 runs without losing a wicket in the batting powerplay.
11th to 20th over:
Rohit and Shubman Gill continued to dominate the Kiwi bowlers, becoming the first opening pair to register a 100-plus stand in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. Gill (31) fell prey to another classic Phillips catch off Santner, as India lost their first wicket at 105 runs. Virat Kohli (1) soon fell to Bracewell, reducing India to 108 for 2 at the 20-over mark.
21st to 30th over:
Just like New Zealand in the first innings, India also slowed down in the middle overs, adding only 28 runs in this phase. The big blow came when Rohit Sharma (76) was dismissed by Rachin Ravindra, leaving India at 136 for 3 at the end of the 30-over mark.
31st to 40th over:
India made a strong fightback in the fourth quarter with a half-century stand between Axar Patel and Shreyas Iyer. Shreyas Iyer (48) missed his fifty after losing his wicket to Santner, but India still managed to add 55 runs for the loss of one wicket, reaching 191 for 4 at the end of 40 overs.
41st to 50th over:
With 61 needed off the last 60 balls, India lost Axar Patel (29), putting them under pressure. Hardik Pandya (18) played a crucial cameo before losing his wicket in the 48th over, leaving 11 runs still needed for victory. However, KL Rahul (33 not out) and Ravindra Jadeja (9 not out) held their nerves and successfully chased down the 252-run target with four wickets and six balls to spare, securing India’s third ICC Champions Trophy title.
