The Indian cricket team defeated New Zealand by four wickets to win the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, in a thrilling final at the Dubai International Stadium. Alongside the glistening trophy, the Indian team will also get a massive prize money.

The ICC Champions Trophy made its return, after having been previously discontinued at the end of the 2017 edition. While Pakistan was announced as the host of the tournament, the Indian team, highlighted security concerns, and objected against travelling to the host nation. In such a situation, the matches featuring the Men in Blue were played in Dubai, with the other teams travelling to and fro.

India, who made it to their fifth Champions Trophy final, defeated the Kiwis to clinch the trophy for the third time. India had previously won it in 2002 and 2013. Batting first, New Zealand posted a fighting total of 252 runs. However, the Men in Blue, guided by skipper Rohit Sharma‘s brilliant knock of 76 runs, chased down the target, to win their second straight ICC tournament.

The Indian team will now walk away with a whopping cash reward of $2.24 million. It marks a massive increase in the prize money for the winners, after the ICC most recently announced a 53 percent hike. Runners-up New Zealand will receive $1.12 million. Meanwhile, the two semi-finalists, South Africa and Australia, will take home $560,000 each, and the other teams would receive participation rewards.

However, the prize money for the Champions Trophy, is less compared to what India took home following its T20 World Cup win in 2024. The winner of the T20 WC received a cash reward of $2.45 million, and the ODI World Cup winner took home a prize money of $4 million.

New Zealand sweeps individual honors despite Champions Trophy final defeat

New Zealand bagged all the individual awards at the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, despite suffering a disappointing defeat in the final to India. Kiwi stars Rachin Ravindra and Matt Henry won the three awards in the ninth edition of the tournament.

He won the Player of Tournament award for his contributions, and also won the award for the highest run-getter in the Champions Trophy. He scored 263 runs at a brilliant average of 65.75, which included two centuries.

Meanwhile, 33-year-old Matt Henry won the Best Bowler title, scalping ten wickets in just four matches, at an average of 16.70. However, Henry could not feature in the Champions Trophy final, owing to a shoulder injury.
