Champions Trophy 2025 semi-finals: Schedule, dates, times, venues, rules & how to follow

There are reserve days for both semi-finals and the final, although the first semi-final went ahead as planned.

The second semi-final has a reserve day on Thursday, 6 March (09:00). A rearranged final would take place on Monday, 10 March (09:00).

There is a maximum of two hours of additional time available on both the original day and reserve day for both games.

For all knockout games a minimum of 25 overs per side is needed to constitute a match. That is up from 20 in the group stages.

The International Cricket Council says “every effort will be made” to complete the match on the scheduled day, including reducing the overs to the minimum required.

If play starts on the scheduled day but a reserve day is then required play will resume from where it stopped, rather than a new match starting.

Whether it is a 50-over or reduced-over match depends on whether play resumes in a reduced-over format on the original day.

If rain means a result is not possible in either semi-final then the side that finished top in the group stage will progress to the final.

The trophy will be shared if the final is washed out on both the original and reserve day.

As with the group stages, any tie would see a super over played.
