2013 ICC Champions Trophy final

The final of the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy was played on 23 June 2013 between England and India at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. This was the 7th edition of the ICC Champions Trophy. India won the match by 5 runs. England qualified for the final by defeating South Africa in the first semi-final at The Oval, London on 19 June 2013. India made their way into the final after defeating Sri Lanka in the second semi-final played at SWALEC Stadium, Cardiff on 20 June 2013. The match was delayed almost six hours due to rain and started at 16:20 local time, and it was reduced to 20 overs per innings. So all the rules of this match were same as a Twenty20 game. It was India's second title victory after the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy, although the first time they had shared the honour with Sri Lanka. So this was the first time that India won the title individually. In addition India became the second team after Australia to win the ICC Champions Trophy more than one time. Ravindra Jadeja earned the Man of the Match award for scoring 33 runs and taking 2 wickets in the match. Shikhar Dhawan was named the Man of the Series for scoring 363 runs in the tournament.

As a result of this match, MS Dhoni became the first captain to win the ICC T20 World Cup (2007), Cricket World Cup (2011) and ICC Champions Trophy (2013).
