Game, set, match. It’s ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 final and India and New Zealand are set to face off at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium Sunday.

Where is New Zealand vs. India being played? ICC Champions Trophy 2025 venue

The clash between India and New Zealand is on March 9 and will take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, which was chosen as a neutral venue after India refused to travel to Pakistan for the tournament citing government advice. Pakistan was the host for ninth edition of the Champions Trophy.

India hasn’t toured Pakistan since 2008 due to ongoing political tensions between the two countries. Late last year, the two countries and the ICC reached an agreement which stated that both nations would play all ICC events hosted in either country at neutral venues until 2027, according to Al-Jazeera.
