Right then, the group stage of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy has concluded, and the tournament now moves into the high-stakes knockout phase. Four teams have bowed out, leaving India, New Zealand, South Africa, and Australia in the hunt for the title. Interestingly, these are the same four teams that made it to the semifinals of the 2023 ODI World Cup. The first semifinal will take place on Tuesday, 4th March, at the Dubai International Stadium, where India will face Australia. The second semifinal is scheduled for Wednesday, 5th March, at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium, featuring New Zealand against South Africa. Both matches will begin at 2.30 pm IST (9 am GMT). As always, join us early for all the pre-match excitement and build-up to these encounters. Until then, take care and goodbye!
The skipper of India, Rohit Sharma says that it was important to finish on a high. Adds that New Zealand have been playing some good cricket in recent years and they needed this result. Mentions that after losing three wickets in the first Powerplay, they needed a couple of partnerships and Iyer and Axar provided them with that while Hardik also did well. Says that they thought that it was a total they could work with as they have a lot of quality in their bowling attack. Further adds that there is no doubt that Varun has something different in him and it is a nice headache to have ahead of the next game. Tells that it is good that they are not making the same mistakes and learning from them with each game and that is exactly what you need to do in this format. Says that Australia have a rich history in ICC tournaments but it is about how they approach that game and hopefully get the better of them to make it to the final.
The captain of New Zealand, Mitchell Santner acknowledges that they expected the wicket to be on the slower side but hadn’t encountered such conditions earlier in the tournament. He credits India for batting well in the middle phase and then applying pressure with the ball. Santner admits they would have taken 250 at the start of the day but concedes that the pitch offered more spin than anticipated. He is pleased with their efforts in the first Powerplay, where they picked up key wickets, and highlights Kane Williamson finding form as a positive takeaway from the match.
Varun Chakaravarthy is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his five-wicket haul. He says that he was feeling nervous at the start as he had not played many ODIs but as the game progressed, he felt better with each wicket. Adds that everyone talked to him, particularly Virat and Rohit, and they helped him to settle down his nerves. Mentions that he found out last night that he will be playing in this game. Further adds that he was expecting to play, but on the other side, he was feeling nervous. Tells that the pitch wasn’t a rank-turner, but if you bowled in the right areas with the right lengths, then there was a certain amount of help for the spinners. Concludes by saying that this win was a team effort.
The presentation ceremony...
Earlier, after New Zealand opted to bowl first, Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson combined to dismantle India’s top three in the first Powerplay. Axar Patel and Shreyas Iyer steadied the innings with a crucial 98-run stand, but their dismissals came at an inopportune time, stalling India's acceleration. The late flourish never quite materialized, as the Kiwi bowlers cleverly varied their pace and lengths to restrict India to 249. For New Zealand, Matt Henry starred with the ball, claiming a five-wicket haul, while every bowler apart from Michael Bracewell chipped in with at least one wicket.
Axar Patel snared Williamson on the last ball of his spell, tilting the scales massively in India's favour. The Kiwis had a fleeting hope through their skipper Mitchell Santner’s hitting but Varun Chakaravarthy nipped him in the bud and effectively sealed the fate of this game. Varun was instrumental in the middle phase and stood out for India with his maiden ODI five-wicket haul.
In their pursuit of 250, Kane Williamson led the charge for the Kiwis after the early loss of Rachin Ravindra. Will Young's promising stay was cut short, and from there, India applied the brakes through their spinners. It was a real graft out there, but Williamson dug in, and as the ball aged, the Indian spinners found increasing purchase from the surface. The pressure created by the spinners resulted in India picking up wickets at regular intervals. As Williamson kept losing partners, the Kiwis struggled to build any meaningful momentum.
India make it three from three! With this result, they head into the semifinals as Group A toppers and have set up a semifinal showdown with Australia here in Dubai. For New Zealand, it was a trial by spin, with 9 out of 10 wickets falling to the spinners. The relentless stranglehold never allowed them to break free. They now head to Lahore, where they will face the Group B toppers, South Africa for a place in the final.

This one is the seam-up delivery, pushed through quicker as well, skidding on. Mitchell Santner fails to pick it and stays back in his crease to play at it. However, the ball goes through before his bat comes down and shatters the stumps. Santner departs after playing a good hand, but the Kiwis are eight down now.

The ball brushes the flap of the front pad and then goes on to hit the bat. Well, well, well, the Ball Tracking shows that the ball is sliding across with the angle and missing the off stump. A massive moment in the game!

Drinks! The game is pretty much in the balance here as both teams continue to fight. New Zealand need 106 runs in the last 15 overs, but they have lost four wickets. Though their most experienced batter, Kane Williamson is at the crease, who is looking pretty solid and the team will rely on him to get them over the line. On the other hand, India have done well by picking up wickets at regular intervals but they have dropped a couple of chances as well. They need to chip in more wickets, especially of Williamson, soon to squeeze up more.

Ravindra Jadeja To Tom Latham OUT!
OUT! LBW! A loud shout and the finger is raised! Tom Latham has a word with Kane and decides to keep walking. This is pushed through by Jadeja, around off, on a length, Tom gets his hands out in front and goes for the reverse. The ball sneaks under his bat and gloves to rap him on the crouched back leg. The partnership had a good tempo but it has now been broken. Jadeja has his first wicket of the night and New Zealand are 133/4, needing 117 runs in 104 balls.

Kuldeep Yadav To Daryl Mitchell OUT!
OUT! LBW! Kuldeep Yadav breaks through for India! Or does he? Daryl Mitchell has reviewed it after consulting his partner. Kuldeep gives flight to the ball, on a length, around middle, turns in, Daryl Mitchell comes forward and looks to defend it with the full face of the bat. Gets beaten on the inside edge as the ball takes a turn and wears it on the front pad. There is an appeal for LBW from Kuldeep and the umpire raises his finger. The third umpire comes into play as the UltraEdge shows that there is no bat involved. The Ball Tracking presents that it is three reds with the ball crashing into the top of the leg stump. Daryl Mitchell will have to go back. New Zealand are 93/3.

DRINKS BREAK! Since Will Young's dismissal, India have tightened the screws with spin from both ends. The Kiwis have arguably two of their best players of spin at the crease, but they are struggling to rotate the strike. You get the feeling that something has to give, with Daryl Mitchell finding it tough to break free. New Zealand will have to be proactive against India's spin-heavy attack and cannot afford to let the spinners settle. Varun Chakaravarthy (4-0-13-1) will continue.
