The final match of the Champions Trophy 2025 is set to take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The Indian team has played all its matches in this tournament at this venue and has won them all. However, if Team India loses the final against New Zealand, it could suffer a big financial loss.
Huge Money on the Line in the Final
The final match of the Champions Trophy is not just about winning the trophy but also about huge prize money. A total of 29.23 crore rupees is at stake. The winning team will receive 19.49 crore rupees, while the runner-up will get 9.74 crore rupees. This means that there is a difference of 9.75 crore rupees between the champion and the second-placed team. If India loses, it will get 9.75 crore rupees less than the winning team, resulting in a big loss.
India’s Strong Record in Dubai
Looking at India’s performance so far in the tournament, the chances of suffering a loss seem low. The Indian team has won all its matches in Dubai, including one match against New Zealand in the group stage. This gives India a strong advantage going into the final.
New Zealand in ICC Finals – A Tough Opponent
Although India has a good record in Dubai, New Zealand has been a strong team in ICC event finals. They have defeated India twice in ICC finals before. The first was in the 2000 Champions Trophy final, and the second was in the 2021 World Test Championship final.
Conclusion
India has performed exceptionally well in this tournament and has the home-like advantage of playing in Dubai. However, New Zealand is known for its strong performance in ICC finals. The final match on March 9 will decide whether India continues its winning streak or faces a big financial loss. Fans are eagerly waiting for this thrilling encounter!
