India, who shared the Champions Trophy title with Sri Lanka in 2002 and won it outright in 2013, now has a great chance to secure their third Champions Trophy title, and their second without sharing. Meanwhile, New Zealand is aiming for their second title in the tournament's history.

This will be India's third straight appearance in the Champions Trophy final, having previously been runners-up to Pakistan in 2017. Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, the team is eager to achieve back-to-back ICC trophies following their T20 World Cup victory in 2024. Additionally, this final marks India's fourth consecutive appearance in an ICC final, having faced defeats against Australia in the 2023 World Test Championship and ODI World Cup finals.
