On March 9, 2025, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, India lifted their third Champions Trophy title (and first since 2013) by defeating New Zealand by 4 wickets with exactly one over to spare. Chasing 252, India finished on 254\/6 in 49 overs, powered by captain Rohit Sharma\u2019s masterful 76 and a calm finish from KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja.<\/span><\/p>\n        <div class=\"iprovpn_btn_cta_row\">\n    \t<a class=\"btn_cta\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/buy-vpn\" title=\"Get iProVPN Now\">Get iProVPN NOW <i class=\"fas fa-long-arrow-alt-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n    \t<\/div>\n    \n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was the second meeting between the two sides in the tournament itself. India had beaten New Zealand by 44 runs in the group stage on March 2, making the final a mouth-watering rematch. New Zealand, playing under stand-in captain Mitchell Santner (regular skipper Kane Williamson was struggling with a minor niggle), once again showed why they are perennial knockout specialists, but India\u2019s experience in big finals shone through on the night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below is the complete India national cricket team vs New Zealand national cricket

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Zealand_Innings_%E2%80%93_A_Tale_of_Two_Halves\"><\/span>New Zealand Innings \u2013 A Tale of Two Halves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Zealand started explosively. Rachin Ravindra, fresh off being named Player of the Series, smashed 37 off 29 balls, including a glorious straight six off Hardik Pandya. At 69\/1 after 10 overs, the Black Caps looked set for 300+.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then came the Kuldeep-Varun magic. Kuldeep Yadav castled Ravindra with a ripping wrong\u2019un and then had Kane Williamson spooning a return catch for just 11. Varun Chakravarthy, continuing his dream tournament (he had taken 5\/42 in the group-stage win over NZ), trapped Will Young lbw. Suddenly, NZ were 75\/3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daryl Mitchell anchored with a gritty 63 off 101 balls, but scoring was painfully slow against India\u2019s spin quartet. Jadeja, Axar, Kuldeep, and Varun bowled 38 overs for just 144 runs and 5 wickets. The middle phase (overs 11-40) yielded only 103 runs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Late acceleration came via Michael Bracewell\u2019s unbeaten 53 off 40 balls (3 fours, 2 sixes). His clean hitting in the final five overs lifted NZ from a precarious 211\/6 to a competitive 251\/7. Still, most experts felt it was 20-25 runs short on a decent Dubai pitch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"India_Innings_%E2%80%93_Rohit_Sharma_Masterclass_Then_a_Wobble_Then_Calm\"><\/span>India Innings \u2013 Rohit Sharma Masterclass, Then a Wobble, Then Calm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rohit Sharma walked out with clear intent. He smoked Kyle Jamieson for three consecutive boundaries in the third over and later deposited Nathan Smith for two huge sixes in an over that cost 22. His 50 came off just 41 balls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 105-run opening stand with Shubman Gill (31 off 50) was the highest partnership of the match. Glenn Phillips\u2019 sensational one-handed diving catch at point ended Gill\u2019s stay, but the damage was done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then came the mini-collapse everyone feared. Virat Kohli fell lbw to Bracewell for 1 (a decision he reviewed unsuccessfully), and Rohit was stumped charging Rachin Ravindra for 76. India slipped from 105\/0 to 122\/3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shreyas Iyer (48 off 62) and Axar Patel (29 off 40) rebuilt with a crucial 61-run stand. Both fell in quick succession, and when Hardik Pandya holed out for 18, India still needed 43 off 42 balls with 4 wickets in hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KL Rahul (34* off 33) and Ravindra Jadeja (9* off 6) played the situation perfectly. Rahul\u2019s ice-cool six off Santner when 18 were needed off 18 balls effectively sealed the game. Jadeja finished it with a boundary through covers with six balls to spare.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Player_Performances_That_Defined_the_Final\"><\/span>Player Performances That Defined the Final<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Rohit Sharma (76 &amp; Player of the Match)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Set the tone with aggressive yet calculated batting.
