ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final Match Update
ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has reached its dead end, with the final match scheduled on 9th March, 2025, between India and New Zealand at the Dubai International Stadium, Dubai. Let’s take a look at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final match update.
Will Matt Henry play in the Final?
Matt Henry who is the leading wicket-taker currently, is New Zealand’s key pacer, who’s facing a fitness challenge ahead of the Champions Trophy final due to a shoulder injury sustained during the semi-final 2 against South Africa at the Gaddafi stadium.
Henry, the tournament’s leading wicket-taker, injured his shoulder while taking a catch but eventually continued playing after treatment. Despite returning to the field, concerns over his fitness remain, as less than 48 hours remain before the final on 9th March.
While captain Mitchell Santner expressed confidence in Henry’s availability, coach Gary Stead remained cautious, noting the injury’s issue which India could capitalize on. Henry has taken 10 wickets in the tournament, including a five-wicket haul against India. If Henry is unavailable, Jacob Duffy is ready to be replaced for the final match.
Umpires and Commentators for the Final?
The match officials for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final between India and New Zealand, scheduled for Sunday, March 9, have been confirmed by the ICC. On-field umpires Paul Reiffel and Richard Illingworth will officiate, with Joel Wilson as the third umpire, Kumar Dharmasena as the fourth umpire, and Ranjan Madugalle as the match referee.
