Champions Trophy 2025: India will not win if this happens in the final, ICC's surprising rule

Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the final match of the Champions Trophy 2025. After almost 8 years, this tournament will get its new champion. In the title battle, the teams of India and New Zealand will face each other at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The Indian team will be eyeing to win this title for the third time. At the same time, New Zealand will go to win the Champions Trophy after 25 years. In any case, the ICC has made many rules to get the result of this match, but there is also a rule due to which the Indian team will not get victory.

If this happens then India will not win

In the final of Champions Trophy 2025, ICC will try to get the result at all costs. In such a situation, ICC has kept a reserve day for the final match. If the match is not played or is not completed on the 9th due to weather or any other reason, then the reserve day will be used. March 10 has been kept as a reserve day for the final match. On the reserve day, the match will start from where it was stopped. At the same time, if not a single ball is bowled on March 9, then the entire match will be played on March 10.

But what will happen if the match is not played on both the days? Let us tell you, ICC had kept reserve days for the semi-final matches and made a rule that if the match is cancelled then the top team of the group stage will qualify for the final. But, this will not happen in the final. If the result of the match is not decided on both the days then ICC will cancel the match. That means neither India nor New Zealand will be able to win the match. In such a situation, the fee will be shared between the two teams.

Second clash in Champions Trophy 2025

Let us tell you, this will be the second clash between India and New Zealand in the Champions Trophy 2025. Earlier, both the teams clashed in the group stage. Then Team India won by 44 runs. Team India's dominance was seen in this match. Batting first, the Indian team scored 249 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in 50 overs. In response, the New Zealand team was all out after scoring 205 runs. At the same time, these two teams will clash in the final for the second time in the history of the Champions Trophy. Earlier in 2002, New Zealand won the title by defeating India.
