India vs New Zealand final tickets: The much-anticipated Champions Trophy 2025 final between India and New Zealand has witnessed an overwhelming response, with all 25,000 tickets for the grand showdown at the Dubai International Stadium selling out well in advance.

Cricket enthusiasts from across the globe scrambled to secure seats for the high-voltage clash, scheduled for March 9, leading to a complete sellout.

Tickets for the final were available in different categories, ranging from AED 250 (₹5,650 approx) for general admission to an exclusive Sky Box hospitality package priced at AED 12,000 (₹2.84 lakh approx). The total revenue generated from ticket sales is estimated to be AED 9 million (₹20.50 crore approx), reflecting the immense popularity of the summit clash.

This final promises to be a thrilling sequel to the 2000 ICC Champions Trophy final, where New Zealand emerged victorious. India, led by Rohit Sharma, has remained unbeaten in the tournament so far, while the Mitchell Santner-led New Zealand side has been clinical with both bat and ball.

The match also offers India a shot at redemption, given their past heartbreaks against the Black Caps in the 2019 World Cup semifinal and the 2021 World Test Championship final.

While fans are eagerly awaiting the final, the tournament's scheduling has drawn criticism from several former cricketers. Notably, India played all their matches in Dubai, while other teams had to travel between Pakistan and the UAE during the league stage and semifinals.

Pundits like Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton have suggested that this provided India with an advantage, as they had a fixed venue, minimal travel, and a squad tailored to Dubai's conditions.

As far as the final is concerned, India secured their spot with a commanding 44-run win over New Zealand in their last group-stage encounter. Batting first, Shreyas Iyer's 79 off 98 balls helped India post 249 in 50 overs. In response, New Zealand's Kane Williamson fought valiantly with 81 off 120 balls, but the Indian spinners dominated, taking nine wickets, with Varun Chakaravarthy starring with figures of 5/42.

With both teams determined to lift the trophy, the Champions Trophy 2025 final is set to be a battle for the ages, and the sold-out stadium will ensure an electrifying atmosphere.
