In a surprising decision, the final of the 2025 Champions Trophy will no longer be played in Pakistan, the official host country. Instead, the match has been shifted to the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, where the two finalists will compete for the prestigious title.
The change in venue comes after India secured a spot in the final by defeating Australia in the semi-final. In a high-pressure match, the Indian team outperformed their opponents, ensuring their place in the tournament’s last and most important game.
India will now wait to see who their opponent will be, as New Zealand and South Africa are set to face off in the second semi-final. The winner of that match will challenge India in Dubai for the championship.
The decision to move the final away from Pakistan has sparked discussions among cricket fans, as the country was originally set to host the entire tournament. However, the organizers have decided that the last match will now take place in the UAE.
Despite the venue change, anticipation for the final remains high. With India already in the title clash, cricket lovers around the world are eagerly waiting to see which team will join them in the grand finale.
