IND vs NZ Champions Trophy 2025 Final: Who will win if final ends in a tie?| Know scenarios
PTC News Desk: India is eyeing for a historic third win, while New Zealand will be striving for their second, having last secured the trophy in 2000. Although the likelihood is low, the possibility of a tied match cannot be dismissed. After all, New Zealand endured a heartbreaking loss in the 2019 World Cup final despite the game ending in a tie. But if the Champions Trophy final results in a tie, who will be declared the winner?
What happens if the Champions Trophy 2025 final is marred by downpour ?
Rain has disrupted as many as three matches in Pakistan during the 2025 Champions Trophy but has largely stayed away in Dubai, where India's games have been played. The chances of rain affecting the final, set to take place at the Dubai International Stadium, remain minimal.
However, in the rare event of spell, both teams will be declared joint winners. A similar scenario had already occurred back in 2002 final when both India and Sri Lanka shared the title after rain prevented the match from being completed.
What happens if the Champions Trophy 2025 final ends in a tie?
In case of the Champions Trophy 2025 final ending in a tie, the chances of which are very bleak, a Super Over will be played to decide the winner and subsequent Super Overs if they also end up in tie in the Champions Trophy final until we get a clear winner.
This is to prevent a situation like the 2019 World Cup final, where New Zealand lost to England on boundary count despite tying both the regulation 50-over match as well as the Super Over.
