Ind vs NZ Final in CT 2025: What will happen if match ends in tie?

High-flying India will take on formidable India in the final match of the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

Both the teams will lock horns against each other in the tournament for the second time. Earlier in the group stage match, India had registered a convincing 44-run victory over the Kiwis at the same venue.

Both the teams are currently in good form. Apart from victory and defeat to one team, there is also a possibility of tie in the summit clash.

What if the match ends in tie?

As per the latest ICC rule, if the match ends in a tie, a Super Over will decide the winner. If that too ends in a tie, additional Super Overs will be played unless there are exceptional circumstances. If completing the required Super Overs is not possible, the match will remain tied.
