ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Semi Finals: Full Schedule, venues, dates, live streaming details and timings
The ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025, being played in Pakistan and the UAE, has reached its business end as the group stage phase of the tournament has concluded. The eight participating teams were divided into two groups consisting of four teams each, with Bangladesh, Team India, Pakistan, and New Zealand forming Group-A , while Group-B consisted of England, Afghanistan, Australia & South Africa.
The first group got early semi-final confirmations as both Team India and New Zealand won their opening two contests versus Bangladesh & Pakistan respectively to seal their spots in the knockout phase.
The Men in Blue defeated the Kiwis in the final group-A clash to finish off the group stage phase as the table toppers. Both Bangladesh and the host Pakistan didn't perform well and failed to advance to the knockout stage, thereby being eliminated from the tournament.
Talking about the second group, i.e, Group-B, the Aussies became the first team to secure the semi-finals berth as they secured easy wins over arch-rivals England and Afghanistan while their encounter versus South Africa was washed out due to rain.
South Africa, on the other hand, won versus Afghanistan and England to become the fourth & final team to qualify for the all-important semi-finals phase of the Champions Trophy.
The Rohit Sharma-led Team India will be squaring off versus arch-rivals Australia in the first semi-final, scheduled to be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on the 4th of March.
Mitchell Santner & his men will face off the Proteas in the second semi-final at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on the 5th of March.
If the Indian team manages to defeat the Australians and qualifies for the all-important Trophy deciding clash of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 on the 9th of March, then the Final will be played in Dubai. In case the Men in Blue get defeated in the semis, then Lahore will play host to the Final.
