Final - ODI

Over 48.6: FOUR! Ravindra Jadeja finds the fence and India win the game by 4 wickets to clinch the Champions Trophy 2025! Back of a length from Will O'Rourke, angling into middle and leg, Ravindra Jadeja waits for the ball to arrive and jabs it behind square on the leg side for a boundary. India remain unbeaten to clinch the title!

Ravindra Jadeja - 4 runs (6 balls)

Over 48.5: Another pull from KL Rahul that finds the fielder! Short and on middle, Rahul pulls it firmly but straight to deep mid-wicket for one.

KL Rahul - 1 runs (33 balls)

Over 47.3: OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Are there any more twists in this game? Certainly feels like it! Kyle Jamieson digs it short and on off, Hardik Pandya looks to pull it from above his head but only manages to get a top edge that skews straight up. Kyle Jamieson on his follow-through takes a few steps ahead, settles under and takes a simple catch to get his first wicket of the game. Hardik Pandya departs for 18 (18). India are 241/6, needing 11 runs from 15 balls.

Hardik Pandya - 0 runs (18 balls)

Over 47.1: Back of a good length, just outside off, KL Rahul looks to work it through the off side and plays close to the body. Ekes an under edge that drops on the pitch and rolls in front of point for one.

KL Rahul - 1 runs (30 balls)

Over 46.3: FOUR! Gets it through this time, does Hardik Pandya! Gives the bowler a charge and tonks this length-ball over covers for a boundary. India need 16 now off 21 balls.

Hardik Pandya - 4 runs (15 balls)

Over 45.1: SIX! MONSTROUS! Hardik Pandya sees it in the slot, clears his front leg, and sends it soaring over the bowler's head for a towering six. Another over that starts with a boundary. Pressure back on the bowler!

Hardik Pandya - 6 runs (11 balls)

Over 44.1: FOUR! Perfect start to the over for India and the pressure is now on Will O'Rourke! He goes a bit too full and on off, KL Rahul creams it through covers for a cracking boundary.

KL Rahul - 4 runs (21 balls)

Over 41.3: OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! A brain fade moment for Axar Patel and he throws his wicket away! New Zealand keep chipping in with crucial wickets as Michael Bracewell provides yet another breakthrough! He has been excellent through and through! Lures the Indian left-hander in the flight, does Michael, and drops the ball on a fullish length, just around off. Axar Patel gets a bit greedy and tries to take on the flight. Tries to hit it too hard and loses his shape a bit, and ends up slicing it up in the air. The ball dips ahead of the long off fielder and it is taken sharply by Will O'Rourke. Axar falls for 29 (40) with India needing 49 runs in 51 balls.

Axar Patel - 0 runs (40 balls)

Over 40.5: Back of a length, turning away from off, KL Rahul creates room and punches it strongly towards the cover region. A fumble there by the fielder allows the batters to hustle back for the double. The 200 is up for India now.

KL Rahul - 2 runs (9 balls)

Over 40.4: SIX! A pressure-releasing shot for KL Rahul! It is a shot he plays really well! Flighted up, on a fullish length, on the leg stump line, KL Rahul takes his front foot out of the way, allows the ball to come to him and thumps it behind long on for a six.

KL Rahul - 6 runs (8 balls)

Over 38.6: SIX! Just clears the ropes! Axar with some intent now! Santner drops a loopy delivery, on a fullish length, around off and middle. Axar Patel sits on his knee and picks it up well. Slogs it behind and over the leaping deep square leg fielder for a six. 62 needed off the last 66 deliveries. This game has zigzagged at a dramatic pace so far.

Axar Patel - 6 runs (36 balls)

Over 38.4: OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Straight after the hydration break, Mitchell Santner, the Kiwi skipper, strikes gold! Santner keeps the stumps into play and bowls it closer to the body of the batter on a length. Shreyas Iyer gets a bit across to pull it over the backward square leg fielder, but plays it way closer to the body and hence, does not get the power, nor the height. Rachin Ravindra comes swooping in with the dive to his left and takes a fantastic diving catch. Shreyas Iyer departs for 48 (62) and India are 183/4, needing 69 more runs to win off 68 deliveries.

Shreyas Iyer - 0 runs (62 balls)

Over 37.5: FOUR! Timed to perfection! Back of a length, angling into the body, Axar Patel stands tall and short-arm jabs it, beating the diving mid on fielder to his left for a boundary. His first boundary in 34 balls he faced.

Axar Patel - 4 runs (34 balls)

Over 36.3: SIX! This will ease the pressure enormously off his shoulders! Also, the 50-run stand is up between these two! Glenn Phillips serves right into the wheelhouse of the right-hander, a juicy half-volley on off, Shreyas Iyer sits down on his knee and slogs it behind deep mid-wicket for a six.

Shreyas Iyer - 6 runs (54 balls)

Over 32.5: FOUR! Just wide! Glenn errs a bit as this is short and on the pads, Iyer pulls it firmly but uppishly. Beats the flying Mark Chapman at square leg to his left for a boundary. 150 up for India!

Shreyas Iyer - 4 runs (41 balls)

Over 27.3: SIX! Athleticism at its very best from Will Young! But in vain! A bit short and on middle, Shreyas Iyer gets under it and clubs it over deep mid-wicket. Young stays inches within the ropes and times his jump well to push the ball back in. The replays however show his foot was in contact with the boundary cushion when he grabbed the ball.

Shreyas Iyer - 6 runs (25 balls)

Over 26.6: Short and on off, Axar Patel rocks back and punches it to mid off.

Axar Patel - 0 runs (5 balls)

Over 26.1: OUT! STUMPED! That's what the pressure of dot ball does to any batter! New Zealand have roared back into this game and how! Rachin Ravindra gets the big wicket of Rohit Sharma! He bowls it short and on off, turning it away from the right-hander. Rohit Sharma premeditates and gives the bowler the charge to pump it straight back over his head but plays the wrong line. The ball pitches and turns past the outside edge and Tom Latham does the rest. Rohit Sharma departs for 76 (83) and India slip to 122/3 now.

Rohit Sharma - 0 runs (83 balls)

Over 25.6: A full toss, on off, Shreyas Iyer pushes it to mid on. A maiden over from Michael Bracewell!
