India stormed into the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final with a commanding four-wicket victory over Australia in the first semifinal at the Dubai International Stadium on March 4. With this win, the final, originally scheduled to be held in Lahore, has now been shifted to Dubai due to security concerns, as the Indian team has refused to travel to Pakistan.

India will now take on the winner of the second semi-final between South Africa and New Zealand in the summit clash on March 9, Sunday. The much-awaited final will begin at 2:30 PM IST, with the toss scheduled for 2:00 PM IST.
India’s dominant semifinal performance
India’s march to the final was powered by a composed 84-run knock from Virat Kohli, who helped guide the team to victory against Australia in a clinical chase of 265 runs. Although he missed out on a century, his innings ensured India’s smooth progression into their fifth ICC Champions Trophy final.
The Indian bowlers played a crucial role in restricting Australia to 264 runs, with Mohammed Shami picking up 3 for 48, while Varun Chakravarthy and Ravindra Jadeja bagged two wickets each. Australia’s Steve Smith top-scored with 73 off 96 balls, but regular breakthroughs from the Indian bowlers kept them in check.
With India eyeing their third Champions Trophy title, the final is expected to be an intense battle. The team, led by Rohit Sharma, will aim to end their 11-year ICC Champions Trophy drought, having last won the title in 2013.
As anticipation builds for the final on March 9, Indian fans will be eager to see if their team can lift the trophy and cement their dominance in world cricket once again.
