Cricket fans are getting to see more than one match in the Champions Trophy 2025. This tournament is being played between 8 teams. Let us tell you, the ICC Champions Trophy started in 1998. It was organized once every 4 years.

The scheduling is such that India are assured of playing its semi-final in Dubai, regardless of which team they take. Group A's other semi-finalists New Zealand will play its last four match in Lahore. The match-ups and venues of the Champions Trophy 2025 semi-finals will be confirmed after India vs New Zealand final Group A game on Sunday.

In case India beats New Zealand and tops the table, it will take on Australia - the second-placed team in the other group. On the other hand, if the Men in Blue lose to the Kiwis, they will face Group B table-topper South Africa in the first semifinal.

Both Uthappa and former india head coach Lalchand Rajput, who attended the launch of the book ‘Life Lessons From Cricket’ in Dubai, felt that India had “definitely” had an advantage of being the only team to play all of their matches at a single venue.
