The race for the Champions Trophy 2025 semifinals has reached its conclusion, with four teams securing their spots in the knockout stage.
However, the exact fixture details will only be finalized after the final Group A match on Sunday.
The four teams that have advanced to the semifinals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 are India and New Zealand from Group A, while Australia and South Africa have emerged as the top contenders from Group B.

India is set to compete in the first semifinal, which will be played in Dubai on Tuesday, March 4. Meanwhile, New Zealand will take the field for the second semifinal in Lahore on Wednesday, March 5. The final lineup of the Champions Trophy semifinals, however, hinges on the outcome of the last Group A fixture, which will determine the final rankings within the group.
If India emerges victorious in their final group-stage match and tops Group A, they will go up against Australia, the second-best team from Group B. This will result in New Zealand facing South Africa, the team that dominated Group B and finished at the top. On the other hand, if New Zealand manages to secure the top position in Group A, they will take on Australia, while India will have to battle it out against South Africa.
