2002 ICC Champions Trophy Final

The 2002 ICC Champions Trophy Final was a significant One Day International cricket match held on September 29, 2002, at the NatWest Series ground in Birmingham, England. This final, contested between India and England, is notable for its dramatic conclusion and the unique circumstance of being co-champions. The match ended prematurely due to rain, with the Indian team scoring 246 runs for 8 wickets in 50 overs, while England responded with 246 runs for 8 wickets in their allotted overs as well. As the match could not reach a definitive conclusion, both teams were declared joint winners, marking India's first triumph in the ICC Champions Trophy's history. The event heightened India's prominence in international cricket during the early 2000s.
