India beat New Zealand by eight wickets in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final. It is India’s third Champions Trophy title, having won in 2002 and 2013. The victory also marks redemption after their runner-up finish in 2017. India have now surpassed Australia in the elite list of multi-time winners, having previously won the title in 2002 (shared with Sri Lanka) and 2013 (defeated England in the final) Pakistan were eliminated before the knockouts, becoming the third host nation — after India (2006) and South Africa (2009) — to crash out in the group stage. India’s 2025 win not only adds another feather to their glittering ICC cap but also underscores their dominance in white-ball cricket. They affirm their status as a powerhouse across formats and end the Champions Trophy on a perfect note. The final was held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. The Men in Blue chased down the target in style to cap off an unbeaten campaign. The match was played in front of a crowd of 17,000 at the ICC HQ in Dubai.
