India (254/6) thump New Zealand (251/7) by 4 wickets to win the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

[Ahmed216]

Don't be so bitter, brother. Pakistan will definitely do well at some point. Hade faith.

I am not bitter. This tournament scheduling was unfair. Plain and simple truth that's it

 

[jamie smith]

Inshallah pak will win 2026 wc.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Not much of a challenge with spinners doing most of the job

And him with the bat finishing the job. Shame others in SC end up with code brown even in less than run a ball run chases

 

[sweep_shot]

Today I have no appetite for suhoor.

It's just a game. Don't let it affect you.

India won it under farcical circumstances.

India have won 22 of their last 23 ICC tournament matches...

Damn so we were one head away from another icc title
Well 2 of you put it that way

And we missed pandya plus pant in 23 WC and jaiswal

 

[Ahmed216]

Off nothing for you. You guys have nothing.. got nothing. All you wanted was to beg Indians for money to leech of Indian Cricket Success.. Go off..

You should go off this is a Pak forum and I am free to express myself

What a Coincidence 2024 T20 World Cup Final - Man of the Match Virat Kohli 76 (59) and 2025 Champions Trophy Final - Rohit Sharma 76 (83)

 

[globetrotter]

@Bhag Viru Bhag

Neither Rohit nor Virat is retiring, it’s Gill retiring

 

[Devadwal]

India’s incredible luck and venue manipulation ends here. Come on NZ!! Send these dossers back to Mumbai!

Yes we are going to Mumbai with a trophy

 

[Mesozoic]

2 ICC titles in 8 months...


Well done Team India ..


More heartburn loading for Indophobes in the coming years.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

What tournament India had, truly special and memorable because of 3 reasons:

1. Converted tournament into hybrid model and played semi final and final outside host country. Showed aukaat to thugs of PCB

2. Knocked out Aus, revenge of 2023 taken

3. Thrashed NZ in Final, revenge of 2019 SF taken

Congratulations India

India edge New Zealand to win the Champions Trophy 2025

The two teams had already met this tournament, in the group stage in Dubai, where Rohit Sharma's side also got the better of the Black Caps.

India won the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final in Dubai, beating New Zealand by four wickets.

They made 254/6, with KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja seeing the innings home with one over to spare, after New Zealand had earlier made 251/7.

The match was in the balance for a good proportion of the India innings as the Black Caps took a series of quick wickets.

The openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill put together a great first-wicket stand of 105, making the result look a foregone conclusion, but once again it was Glenn Phillips who produced something special. He took a tremendous catch, leaping to his right to remove Gill for 31, from the bowling of Mitchell Santner.

Michael Bracewell trapped new batter Virat Kohli lbw four balls later for just 1.

And Rachin Ravindra brought Rohit's impressive day to an end, luring him down the track to be stumped by Tom Latham for 76.

Ravindra took another good catch to remove Shreyas Iyer on 48, with Axar Patel following three overs later, caught by Will O'Rourke off Michael Bracewell.

Hardik Pandya made a breezy run-a-ball cameo for 18, caught and bowled by Kyle Jamieson in the 48th over.

The Black Caps - already without the injured Matt Henry, the tournament's leading wicket-taker - are missing Kane Williamson in the field, who sustained a quad injury while batting.

Earlier, India put a stranglehold on New Zealand as their spinners took control in the middle of the game with Varun Chakaravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav both taking two wickets.

They managed to restrict New Zealand to a run-rate of 3.30 in overs 11 to 30.

But a late resurgence saw the Black Caps put on 50 runs in the last five overs to boost their score.

They had made a quick start, with Will Young and Ravindra both riding their luck as India missed a few chances for early wickets.

But Varun eventually made the breakthrough, taking out Young lbw in the eighth over.

Ravindra's promising start was cut short for 37 runs off 29 balls, bowled by Kuldeep, who then caught-and-bowled Kane Williamson two overs later.

Latham was trapped lbw by Ravindra Jadeja for 14, Glenn Phillips put in a valuable 34 off 52 balls, hitting two fours and a six before being bowled by Varun, and Daryl Mitchell's 63 from 101 balls was also useful, but included only three boundaries.

Captain Mitchell Santner was run out as his side pushed for more runs in the penultimate over, and Michael Bracewell reached his half-century with one ball of the innings left, to give himself and the rest of the bowlers a target to work with.

India have had a seamless run to the final - remaining unbeaten - and bested Australia in the semi-final to punch their ticket for the final.

Despite their loss against India in the group stage, New Zealand have also been impressive in all departments and arrive in the final on the back of a comprehensive win over South Africa in the final four.

Final was fixed.

Non sense

 

[OldWarHorse]

We've acted as proper bullies on and off the field. One i am not so proud of,, but the boys on field have been special

 

[kron]

Don't mind me...I'm just here to collect all the salt out of tears.

Now it’s ‘Dubai’ kiptley cup

 

[Devadwal]

Let's go Kiwis smash them

What did you say? Say it again now

 

[jamie smith]

No retirements??
Atleast give us some happiness.

 

[deltexas]

Ind "swept" all 5 games LOL and the second consecutive ICC event win.. Unbeaten in both tournaments wow thats some amazing consistency..

 

[nish_mate]

Definitely the case in 2017. Oval cricket Stadium was empty before the final nail in the coffin.

Yupp, I was there

For last 8 years CT was a premium trophy on PP, rest assured in coming days it will be demoted to a Mickley mouse cup, especially from some bitter East Pakistani Canadians

 

[sweep_shot]

I am not bitter. This tournament scheduling was unfair. Plain and simple truth that's it

It was a farce. NZ had to travel for 7000+ KM (Pakistan > Dubai > Pakistan > Dubai).

India didn't have to move an inch.

 

[Ahmed216]

So am I.. Go to sleep you need to scream and cry more.

Hahaha go hang your head in shame

 

[Mockingbird]

What a Coincidence 2024 T20 World Cup Final - Man of the Match Virat Kohli 76 (59) and 2025 Champions Trophy Final - Rohit Sharma 76 (83)

Also Semi final T20 WC- Rohit Sharma was MoM, here Kohli was MoM.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

We've acted as proper bullies on and off the field. One i am not so proud of,, but the boys on field have been special

I am totally proud of bullying in this case. The tournament either should have been hosted without India, or not hosted in Pakistan at all. Its the other countries are boards who acted greedy and got what they asked from the big daddy.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

New Zealand have been superb throughout the tournament.

Professional , extremely disciplined and ruthless at times.

Perhaps the pressure of carrying the weight of expectations of the rest of the world , especially Pakistanis and Bangladeshis , probably got to them since their cricket doesn't really get that kind of attention otherwise.

They would've dominated every other team in this team.

Played like champs .

Rigged tournaments both 2023 and 2025

 

[Buffet]

Ball was turning a lot more in the second inning. If NZ had one more spinner, it would have become more interesting.

 

[Mas-LFC]

What is the score my fellow kiwis?

@sweep_shot @Mas-LFC

Kiwis did their best. Playing against the best team in the tournament on a wicket that suited Indian bowling more, who also had advantage of playing the whole tournament in one venue.

 

[jamie smith]

@sweep_shot @mominsaigol @Kriketer @Bhaag Viru Bhaag @jamie smith @Major it must be hard for you guys pls bring now your conspiracy theories and coping mechanisms

Son mind ur own business.

 

[Vikram1989]

Don't be so bitter, brother. Pakistan will definitely do well at some point. Have faith. Babar, Shaheen, Naseem and Rizwan will come good eventually. Too talented not to.

What a sweet liar u r .am jealous

 

[Devadwal]

Today India is going to learn

What did you learn brother?

 

[nish_mate]

No one moaning about Indias lack of titles now? Or we considering Tests only now??? Up yours Sweepers..

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Are Kohli and Rohit retiring?

Hope ur holding up well, difficult time 4 ya - we sent ur two teams packing in the early stages of the tournament.....hope U get some good psychiatric sessions in pahargunj

 

[Savak]

No better platform for Kohli, Sharma to announce retirement from the white ball game. India has so much back up talent and match winning reserves. Only reason why Kohli will linger on till 2027-28 is because of commercial, sponsorship reasons.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Rigged tournaments both 2023 and 2025

as i said cry more.. The more you cry and more happy i will be. Type rigged for 100 times now. In fact, get a tattoo on your head with the word "Rigged"

 

[Savak]

Satner made a tactical mistake, he should have attacked Iyer with a pacer immediately when he was new to the crease. Iyer is a good player of spin bowling but a nervous starter against pace.

 

[jamie smith]

as i said cry more.. The more you cry and more happy i will be. Type rigged for 100 times now. In fact, get a tattoo on your head with the word "Rigged"

Nothing can change the fact that the tournament was rigged.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

In the midst of this - sincere thanks to Pak for good hosting & also great game to NZ - they fought till very end !

 

[Rajdeep]

Kiwis did their best. Playing against the best team in the tournament on a wicket that suited Indian bowling more, who also had advantage of playing the whole tournament in one venue.

Ball spun more in second innings but then again since when logic is your forte

Keep typing rigged. Type is for 100 times.

Sweeeeeeeetttttt sooooo sweeeettt!

 

[Devadwal]

How to fix matches

 

[Mas-LFC]

5 matches held in this stadium with the most pathetic wickets. Not one single score was over 270, forget 300. Never want to see another tournament held in Goobai!

Third attempt at this thread. Requesting moderators to let this stay in honour of Rohit Sharma who deserves this special praise.

23-1

It’s been a hell of a ride.

2 Trophies and a Final’s loss

Could have been 24-0, three trophies

Still an unreal run from him and the team.

Hats off

Well, we will find out when Pakistan plays on the same venue throughout the 2026 World Cup

India has been a tournament team for a while. They have taken it to next level.

Inshallah we will win asia cup and 2026 wc on the back of saim and niazi heroics.

Last 7 ODIs between India and NZ

Inshallah we will win asia cup and 2026 wc on the back of saim and niazi heroics.

We have to pray Rizwan and Babar are kept far away from the T20 side

 

[Banda298]

It was a farce. NZ had to travel for 7000+ KM (Pakistan > Dubai > Pakistan > Dubai).

India didn't have to move an inch.

India travelled over 12000 km when they hosted in cwc 23 . stop whining , apply burnol and get on ur with ur life.

India NOW HAS ODI CHAMPIONS TROPHY 2025 and WORLD CUP 2024 in 8 months!!!

Always aim for the stars and you might reach the moon.

Aim for a World Cup win and you might actually not get knocked out by USA in the first round again

Ambition is good

 

[nish_mate]

Thank you Pakistan for hosting us, it will be sweet winning the Pakistan edition of CT.

Amazing hosts Pakistan, ensured their bitter rivals win the title.

[Josh]

Wow that was an intense final match. Didn't think NZ will compete at all after Rohit's innings. Had to stop my car and switch from radio to watch it on the phone. Congratulations to India and well deserved. Didn't have luck with the toss, and was real hard to chase with ball turning much more in the evening. Respect reinstated for KL Rahul for holding his nerves and finishing the job

 

[Banda298]

Cause he is
1) fat
2) unfit
3) old
4) washed up
5) moron
6) a cipher in terms of endurance
7) basically sucks and is blocking jaiswal

He smashes the crap out of u and all his haters today with his knock.

Cometh the hour ..cometh the man....
