The Champions Trophy final was held on March 9 between India and New Zealand at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The final represents an important milestone, as it has highlighted Pakistan’s return to hosting the ICC tournament for the first time in almost three decades.
India has taken its place in the final, winning Australia by five wickets in the first semi -final in Dubai. At the same place where he won all three of his group matches against Bangladesh, Pakistan and New Zealand, respectively.
In the second semi -final, New Zealand confirmed their last berth with a 50 -run command against South Africa.
Unfortunately for South Africa, this is another example of disappointment on the important knockout stage, as they once again stumbled against New Zealand. The team is often criticized for not sealing the victory under pressure, which makes them a ‘chord’ label. This unfortunate trend has arisen from a mixture of misfortune and critical mistakes in the important moments, which has caused the team and their supporters to grow in global programs.
Prior to the March 9 final, India and New Zealand have faced each other six times in the ICC Champions Trophy. India has four wins – 1999, 2013, 2017 and 2025 (group matches) – while Qi’is only succeeded in 2009, a game ended in 2002.
It should be noted that the Indian team has won all its four games in Dubai, declined.
Travel to Pakistan due to political tensions. Seven other teams of the tournament had to travel between three Pakistani cities and the United Arab Emirates, causing logistics challenges.
As part of the tournament’s hybrid arrangements, South Africa had to travel to Dubai but then returned to Pakistan without any match. India has been unbeaten in 10 ODIs, which they have played in Dubai, won nine.
In addition, the Indian team feels like a domestic sheep support in Dubai, which plays an important role in enhancing the team’s morale and confidence. The energy and excitement of the fans can create a positive environment, which can encourage players to perform their best. The Indian cricket team has a passionate fan base, and playing in the same venue ensures the permanent presence of their supporters, which benefits emotional elevators and psychological benefits.
India’s fastest chief, Mohammad Shami, has admitted that playing all his Champions Trophy matches at the same place in Dubai has provided a competitive advantage to his team.
Shami, who returned the 3-48 figures in the victory of India’s four-wicket semi-final against Australia on Tuesday, said that familiarity with Dubai’s International Cricket Stadium is beneficial.
India’s coach Gautam Gambhradress benefited India’s allegations from the situation in Dubai, and termed them baseless and baseless. He said, “Even if this tournament was held in Pakistan, we would still go with two spinners. The idea that we have some edge in Dubai is completely baseless.”
He further denied the criticisms, “Tell me, when and where did India play in these current situations in Dubai? I do not remember.” He added that the situation in Dubai was unfamiliar with all teams, including India, he pointed out that the pitches are not in favor of India in a particular way.
However, Gambhir’s arguments, playing all matches in a venue is an important benefit for the Indian cricket team. Knowing the pitch and weather conditions in cricket is very important, and playing in the same venue allows the team to adopt their strategies and tactics more effectively.
With spin -friendly conditions, with spin -friendly conditions, the Indian team, with spin -friendly conditions, gives their spinners an opportunity to exploit the opponent’s weakness against standard spin bowling.
Moreover, playing in a venue reduces the fatigue and logistic challenges associated with permanent travel. The team can focus on their training and recovery without obstacles in the long journey. This continuity can increase their performance and maintain their physical and mental fitness.
Despite the ongoing debate about the benefits of one place for all matches, it cannot be argued that the Indian cricket team has performed well. Not only did he successfully chased his goals, but he also managed to defend a minor score of 249, and won New Zealand by 44 runs.
Their bowlers not only restricted opposition to posting massively, but their strong batting never allowed opposition bowlers to ban them before reaching the goals.
India is undoubtedly one of the best parties to the one -day International (ODI), with a strong combination of strong batting and spin bowling. Global players like Warat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shubman Gul, KR Rahul are able to chase their batting lineup, chasing big goals and setting scores. These batsmen have shown their abilities permanently, with beautiful strokes, power killing, and an extraordinary ability to adopt different match conditions.
The power of India’s batting is fulfilled with their extraordinary spin bowling weapons. Spinners like Ravindra Jadeja, X -Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav have become the winner with the ability to deceive the batsmen with flight, turn and change. Particularly Jadeja and Kuldeep’s spinning duo have been playing a vital role in slamming the opposition’s run and taking important wickets in the middle overs. His effect on the pitches of the subcontinent, which often helps spin, has been an important factor in India’s success.
In addition, India’s depth in both departments increases their domination. As soon as the emerging capabilities come into the ranks, India has a permanent supply of skilled batsmen and spinners when ready to step when needed. This combination of experience and youth ensures that India has been a top contender in the ODI format, which is capable of competing with any team globally.
India also has a strong record in the Champions Trophy, which shows its permanent performance in the ICC tournaments.
The March 9 match is the fifth final for the India team in nine events. India first played the Champions Trophy final against New Zealand in 2000, which was won by New Zealand. In the next event in 2002, India shared a trophy with Sri Lanka after washing twice in the final.
In 2013, India defeated England and won the Champions Trophy. Men in Green once again qualified for the final against the Arc Rawal Pakistan in 2017, and for the first time the Green Shirts defeated India in any ICC tournament and won the trophy for the first time.
India’s Champions Trophy looks hopeful for winning 2025. The team has shown an extraordinary appearance throughout the tournament, which has won all its group stage matches and has won the final.
His recent victories against strong teams like Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan have shown their ability to perform under pressure.
One of the key factors supporting India’s success is the formation of his balanced team. The batting lineup, led by experienced players, headed by Virtual Kohli and Rohit Sharma, has presented a permanent performance. Emerging capabilities such as Shubman Gul and Shariah Ayer have also increased the batting order.
India’s bowling attack, especially their spinners, have been playing a vital role in keeping the opponents limited to management. Varun Chakraborty’s five -wicket distance against New Zealand is proof of his spin department’s effect. The rapid attack has also been very important in maintaining pressure on preliminary progress and maintaining pressure on opposition.
However, the team faces an important challenge with the potential absence of Jaspat Bumra due to injury. His multi -dimensional abilities have been very important for India’s balance, and his absence can affect the team’s performance.
Despite this shock, India’s overall form and both batting and bowling both make strong contenders for the Champions Trophy 2025. With the final match approaching, the team will need to continue their winning pace to keep their attention and lift the trophy again.
