The Final will be played on March 9.
After much anticipation, the fixtures for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 were finally revealed earlier today (December 24). The eight-team tournament will kick off on February 19 with the summit clash scheduled for March 9. A total of 15 matches will be played across Pakistan and Dubai.
The high-octane India vs Pakistan clash has been slated for February 23, in Dubai. Notably, after the Indian Board raised concerns about travelling to Pakistan – the host nation of the tournament, India’s matches were shifted to Dubai. The three group stage matches featuring India, along with the first semi-final, will now take place in Dubai.
The teams have been divided into two groups. Group A of the tournament includes the reigning Champions Trophy winners and hosts, Pakistan, along with India, New Zealand, and Bangladesh. Meanwhile, Group B consists of the 2023 Cricket World Cup champions, Australia, as well as Afghanistan, England, and South Africa.
