India stormed into the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 after a thrilling victory over Australia in the first semi-final at Dubai International Stadium on March 4 (Tuesday). Chasing down a target of 265 runs, India avenged their heart-breaking loss to Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup, with a solid all-round performance.
The win secured India’s place in the final, where they will now face the winner of the second semi-final, either South Africa or New Zealand. The grand finale is scheduled for March 9 at Dubai International Stadium. While Pakistan is the official host for the tournament, India’s journey to the final will culminate at the same iconic Dubai venue where they triumphed in the semi-final.
