India beat England in Champions Trophy final at Edgbaston

India have won the ICC Champions Trophy, beating England by five runs in a rain-affected final at Edgbaston on 23 June.

The final was delayed by almost six hours because of rain and did not start until 4.20pm, and was cut to 20 overs a side.

The final

Batting first, India made 129 for seven from their 20 overs. England looked well placed in reply, but lost wickets at crucial moments and finished on 124 for eight, five runs short.

Ravindra Jadeja was named man of the match after scoring 33 runs and taking two wickets. Shikhar Dhawan, who scored 363 runs in the tournament, including two centuries, was named player of the series.

Dhoni's treble

The victory means India's captain, MS Dhoni, becomes the first captain to win the World Twenty20, the Cricket World Cup and the Champions Trophy. India won the World Twenty20 in 2007 and the World Cup in 2011.

It is India's second Champions Trophy title. They shared the trophy with Sri Lanka in 2002, when the final was washed out, but this is the first time they have won it outright.

India's unbeaten run

India dominated the tournament. They won all their group matches, against South Africa, West Indies and Pakistan, and beat Sri Lanka by eight wickets in the semi-final in Cardiff. England reached the final by beating South Africa at The Oval.

A home crowd

For many in the Edgbaston crowd, the result was cause for celebration. Birmingham has a large Indian community, and India's supporters made up a large part of the crowd, creating a lively atmosphere despite the long wait for play to start.

England's supporters had hoped their side would win a global one-day tournament for the first time. England have never won the Cricket World Cup or the Champions Trophy, and have now lost two Champions Trophy finals, having also been beaten in 2004.

Edgbaston's big day

Edgbaston, the home of Warwickshire, hosted several matches in the tournament, including the final. The ground is one of the country's leading international venues and has a reputation for passionate crowds.

The rain threatened to wash out the final altogether, and there was a reserve day available. But the organisers were determined to get a result on the day, and a shortened game went ahead in front of a packed ground once the weather improved.

What next

This is expected to be the last Champions Trophy for some time, with the International Cricket Council planning to replace it with a new tournament. For India, it caps a remarkable few years. For England, attention now turns to the Ashes against Australia, which begins next month.
