2025 Champions Trophy Live Broadcast Information

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 promises to be a thrilling tournament, and cricket fans across the globe can catch all the action live through various broadcasting platforms. Below are the official broadcast partners and streaming platforms for the event:

The Format of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy

The Champions Trophy 2025 will have a similar format to the past years. It will include the top eight ODI teams from around the world. These teams will compete in a fun and exciting tournament!

1. Group Stage: The teams are divided into two groups of four. Each team will play three matches against other teams in their group.
2. Knockout Stage: The top two teams from each group will move to the semi-finals. The winners of the semi-finals will then play in the grand final to see who is the best!

This setup makes sure that all teams play at least three matches, so we get to see how strong and consistent each team is. It also makes the tournament very exciting, with only the best teams reaching the final matches!

Teams to Watch in 2025

Many cricket teams will try to win the Champions Trophy 2025. Some of the strongest teams are India, Australia, England, and Pakistan.

• India is always very good in big cricket tournaments. They want to win this time because they came very close in 2017 but didn’t get the trophy.
• Australia is amazing at playing white-ball cricket. They have won the Champions Trophy two times before and will try hard to win their third one.
• England won the 2019 World Cup and are now one of the best teams in the world. They became much better with their captain, Eoin Morgan, and are very strong in short cricket matches.
• Pakistan won the last Champions Trophy in 2017. They will want to win again, especially if the tournament happens in Pakistan!

Other teams like New Zealand are always tough in ICC tournaments. The West Indies have already won the Champions Trophy two times and could be dangerous again. South Africa wants to do well this time. They won the first Champions Trophy in 1998, but they haven’t been lucky in recent years.

All these teams will fight hard to be champions!

History of the ICC Champions Trophy

The ICC Champions Trophy is a special cricket tournament. It started to make ODI cricket popular and bring the best cricket teams in the world together to play exciting matches. The first tournament happened in 1998 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. South Africa won that first tournament, beating the West Indies in the final match.

South Africa won the inaugural edition named officially as the Wills International Cup 1998.

In the beginning, the tournament was simple: if a team lost, they went home! But later, the tournament changed and became bigger, with teams playing in groups before the knockout matches. In 2002, the name became the ICC Champions Trophy, and something unusual happened: India and Sri Lanka both became winners together because rain stopped the final match twice in Colombo.

The tournament kept getting better and more thrilling. Australia was the first team to win two times in a row, in 2006 and 2009, showing how strong they were. In 2004, the West Indies beat England in an exciting match to win. In 2013, India won again by defeating England in a final that was shortened because of rain. Then, in 2017, something amazing happened: Pakistan beat their rivals India to win their first-ever Champions Trophy!

The ICC Champions Trophy 2017 was in England. Pakistan played brilliantly, even though they started as the lowest-ranked team. In the final, they beat India by 180 runs at The Oval, a huge victory that showed how strong Pakistan could be in cricket! read more
