Phillips' Stunning Catch Turns Trophy Final

In the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy final against India, New Zealand's Glenn Phillips delivered a remarkable one-handed catch to dismiss Shubman Gill in the 19th over, marking a turning point in the match. Gill, who had scored 31 off 50 balls, was part of a 105-run opening stand with Rohit Sharma, putting India in a strong position while chasing 252. Phillips' exceptional fielding, which had already seen him dismiss top players like Virat Kohli and Mohammad Rizwan earlier in the tournament, helped New Zealand regain momentum. Following Gill's dismissal, India lost quick wickets, including Kohli for a mere one run, further tilting the game in New Zealand's favor. Phillips also contributed with the bat, scoring 34 runs in New Zealand's total of 251/7. His performance, both in the field and with the bat, underscored his role as a key player in the final.
