The champions Trophy 2025 will take place from 19 February to 9 March in Pakistan and UAE. So, let's take a look at the champions trophy winners list.

Champions Trophy | Historical Overview

The ICC Champions Trophy, initially known as the ICC Knockout Tournament, was launched in 1998. Its name was changed to Champions Trophy in 2002. 

Its aim was to raise funds to develop cricket in non-Test playing countries, inspired by the ICC World Test Championship.

Earlier the tournament was held in Bangladesh and Kenya, but its success made it a money-making source for the ICC.

In 2002, the tournament's format changed to a round-robin format, which did not last long.

However, since 2009, only the top eight teams in the ICC ODI rankings have participated. 

The Champions Trophy has been hosted by seven countries, with England hosting it the most number of times. 

Initially, the games were held every two years, but after that, it changed to a four-year cycle in 2009, aligning with the World Cup schedule.

Champions trophy winners list

There have been eight editions of the ICC Champions Trophy from 1998 to 2017 and each match leaves an indelible mark on cricket history.

Champions Trophy 2002 | India/Sri Lanka 

India and Sri Lanka shared the ICC Champions Trophy in 2002 due to the rain-affected season, after which the DLS method was used in cricket to determine the team's final score.

This was achieved under the MS Dhoni's leadership, along with the cooperation of other team members. 

In the final, India beat hosts England on the last ball of a rain-curtailed 20-over-per-side match. 

Ravindra Jadeja was the Player of the match for 33* (25) & 2/24, and Shikhar Dhawan was the Man of the Tournament for scoring 363 runs.

It was the unique type of bowling of the Indian team that prevented their opposition from emerging and thus defeating them in the finals.

Champions Trophy 2017 | Pakistan

Now after winning the third match, the fourth T20I between the two teams will be played on November 6, 2025, which is going to be held at a new venue, Carrara Oval Stadium in Queensland.

After the first game in Canberra was washed out, Australia took a 1-0 lead after winning the second in Melbourne by four wickets. They chased down a 126-run target in 13.2 overs on a spicy track after Josh Hazlewood bowled a brilliant spell with the new ball.

India bounced back commendably in the third T20I in Hobart to restore parity in the series. They made light work of a 187-run target, reaching the score in just 18.3 overs, with five wickets to spare. Washington Sundar played a blinder of an innings after Arshdeep Singh's exemplary three-for on his comeback.

The team that wins the fourth T20I, will ensure they do not lose the series. Consequently, both India and Australia are expected to put in all their efforts to win the fourth match.

India vs Australia 4th T20I Match Prediction

India have the upper hand heading into the fourth T20I after a confident run chase in Hobart. Their batting depth and form in the middle order make them slight favourites to take a 2-1 series lead. Australia remain dangerous at home but will miss key players like Travis Head and Josh Hazlewood, which could tilt the contest in India’s favour.

The Indian cricket team beat South Africa by 52 runs in the final to win the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. After heartbreaks in 2005 and 2017, Harmanpreet Kaur’s side produced a complete performance to lift their maiden Women’s Cricket World Cup title, also becoming the first women’s team from Asia to win a global title across formats.
