The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final pitch has been chosen between India and New Zealand. Reports have confirmed that a used surface will be rolled out for the high-stakes clash on March 9 in Dubai. The particular pitch selected has also been for the group stage encounter between India and Pakistan, adding an unexpected Pakistan flavor to the final. The Times of India quoted a report stating that the Emirates Cricket Board traveled on its “two-weeks rest” policy of pitches within Dubai, but with so few choices left after the end of the ILT20, there simply wasn’t an alternative. As such, it had to settle for a tired surface for the title decider. The entire square was watered ahead of the final by the ground staff before they could mark the centre-wicket for Sunday s match.

How’s pitch going to impact the final?
The semi-fresh pitch was where it would give spin a great advantage as Dubai’s rising temperatures would aid further into the spinners’ case. The last few days have had the surface under covers so the first sight of the wicket will be presented on Saturday.
An official involved in preparations explained that “even during the ILT20, the ground staff paid good attention to the pitches rest,” as well as the outfield, which made sure that green, thick grass covered it ever so carefully despite the heavy action. ” It wouldn’t take long before the first one dew drops on an otherwise dry ground greeting the Champions Trophy final on the morrow.
Such playing conditions, therefore, could prove critical in India’s and New Zealand’s aspirations for this important battle in seeking to claim the prestigious ICC trophy.
