Tournament favorites India will look to underline their supremacy of white-ball cricket on Sunday as they take on a battling New Zealand team in the ICC Champions Trophy.
In-form one-day international specialists India eased past Australia in their semifinal, while New Zealand claimed a 50-run win over South Africa in their last-four clash to set up today’s showdown.
Due to political tensions, all of India’s matches during this tournament have been held in Dubai rather than host country Pakistan, with the grand finale taking place at the 25,000-capacity Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Australia and India are the two leading teams in the Champions Trophy history, having won two titles each.

How to watch the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy online from anywhere using a VPN
If you can’t view the tournament locally, you may need a different way to watch this tournament; this is where a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. It’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Australia, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming ICC Champions Trophy action live may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
