India has successfully qualified for the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 after a series of strong performances. 

The team first defeated Bangladesh by 6 wickets in their opening match, followed by another win against arch-rivals Pakistan in Dubai. India's qualification was confirmed after New Zealand's victory over Bangladesh, securing their place in the top four.

Both New Zealand and India have now qualified for the semi-finals from Group A, while Pakistan and Bangladesh have been eliminated from the tournament.

The top two teams from each group will move forward to the semi-finals, with the winners of each semi-final facing each other in the final, which will take place at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on March 9. 

However, if India qualifies for the final, it will be moved to Dubai.
