India wins ICC Champions Trophy

AFP

India have beaten New Zealand to clinch the ICC Champions Trophy in a gripping final in Dubai on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium.

Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul saw India reach their 252-run target with 6 balls to spare to win by 4 wickets.

Captain Rohit Sharma (76) top-scored for India, who chased down their 252-run target with one over to spare.

Daryl Mitchell made 63 and Michael Bracewell contributed an unbeaten 53 down the order to help New Zealand post a competitive 251-7 after electing to bat.

India's four-pronged spin attack kept the run rate in check but they did not get enough support from the fielders, who dropped four catches.

India nearly squandered a strong start but KL Rahul chipped in with an unbeaten 34 down the order to help them complete a successful chase.
