Police officials in Dubai have warned fans of fines ranging from fines ranging from ₹3,80,000 to ₹2,285,000 (AED 5,000 to AED 30,000) should they violate any laws or rules regulations during Champions Trophy 2025 final between India and New Zealand. As per Geo News, the warning comes after a fan ran onto the field immediately after the semi-final between India and Australia.
With KL Rahul hitting a six to finish off the match against Australia to put the Men in Blue in the final, a fan ran and hugged the keeper-batter. The cops have also warned the fans against using dangerous materials, fireworks, or flammable substances, else severe penalties will be imposed. Furthermore, acts of racism, violence and political activities will also be dealt with strictly.
Additionally, throwing objects at players will result in fines ranging from ranging from ₹761,000 to ₹2.285 million (AED 10,000 to AED 30,000)
Report reveals the pitch to be used for Champions Trophy 2025 decider
Meanwhile, a report of the Times of India has revealed that the surface used for the India vs Pakistan clash will remain the same for the tournament-decider on March 9, Sunday.
Pakistan skipper Mohammad Rizwan had won the toss and elected to bat first on that track but found the going difficult as the Indian spinners gained plenty of purchase. The Men in Green somehow dragged themselves to 241. Although Abrar Ahmed bowled well, Pakistan lacking another specialist spinner meant that India chased down the target in 42.3 overs with six wickets to spare.
With New Zealand struggling against India's spinners in their group-stage clash, they are likely to be confronted again with the same in the final. The Men in Blue are unlikely to change the four-spinner template as they look to clinch another ICC trophy.
