England's captain Alastair Cook won the toss and elected to field. India remained unchanged from the side that played the semi-final, while England brought Tim Bresnan in place of Steven Finn. However, the match was delayed almost six hours due to rain and was reduced to 20 overs per innings. So all the rules of this match were the same as a Twenty20 game.

India lost their first wicket early as Rohit Sharma was bowled by Stuart Broad for 9 runs. Shikhar Dhawan continued to strike despite couple of rain delays. Soon, Ravi Bopara dismissed Dhawan thanks to a well-judged catch by James Tredwell at extra cover. Two overs later, Tredwell dismissed Dinesh Karthik, and Bopara bowled a maiden over next. Both Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni were dismissed cheaply by Bopara leaving India on 66 for five. Ravindra Jadeja joined Kohli in the middle, and the duo tried to stabilize the innings. With India on the back foot due to lower run rate, Cook reintroduced in-form bowler Anderson, who conceded only a single. Kohli took charge and smashed 2 boundaries to Bopara and a six to Broad while Jadeja managed to hit six to Anderson in the next over. Later while attempting a big hit to Anderson's bowl, Kohli was caught by Bopara at long-off for 43 runs. Ashwin came in with nine balls remaining, but was run out in the last over. However, Jadeja, with a six to Bresnan, added 12 runs in the over and took India to 129 runs. Bopara was the best bowler for England as he picked up 3 wickets for 20 runs in 4 overs while Anderson, Tredwell and Broad each took one wicket.{{cite web |access-date=23 June 2013 |date=23 June 2013 |first=Sidharth|last=Monga |title=Cool India steal title in 20-20 sprint |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-champions-trophy-2013-566910/england-vs-india-final-566948/match-report |website=ESPN Cricinfo}}{{cite web |access-date=15 April 2014 |date=15 April 2014 |first=Lawrence|last=Booth |title=India v England: Wisden's review of the Final, India vs England |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/wisden-almanack-review-india-v-england-782221 |website=ESPN Cricinfo}}

England also lost their first wicket early in the second over as Alastair Cook edged to Umesh Yadav in the slips. Jonathan Trott joined Ian Bell as the duo managed to score 25 runs. Ashwin managed to dismiss Trott and Joe Root while Jadeja sent back Bell in the next over leaving England on 46 off 4 wickets. With spinners getting wickets, Dhoni gave the ball to Raina but failed to break the partnership of Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara. The duo made a partnership of 64 off 59 but the match turned in the 18th over when Ishant Sharma got the wickets of Morgan and Bopara in two consecutive balls as England were 110 for six. England needed 19 off 12 balls as Jos Buttler and Tim Bresnan came to bat but soon Jadeja bowled Buttler and Bresnan was run out. Broad and Tredwell came to the crease as 15 runs were required in the last over which was bowled by Ashwin. Broad managed to score a boundary on the second ball and the duo were able to score five runs in the next three balls as England needed 6 runs off the last ball. Tredwell failed to connect on the last ball as India won the match by five runs. Ashwin, Jadeja, Ishant Sharma each got two wickets while Umesh Yadav got one wicket.{{cite web |access-date=23 June 2013 |title=2013 ICC Champions Trophy Final: India vs England - As it happened... |url=https://zeenews.india.com/sports/cricket/icc-champions-trophy-2013/2013-icc-champions-trophy-final-india-vs-england-as-it-happened_763910.html |date=23 June 2013 |website=Zee News}}{{cite web |access-date=24 June 2013 |date=24 June 2013 |title=ICC Champions Trophy 2013 Results: India Are Champions After Stunning England In Thrilling Final |url=https://www.ibtimes.co.in/icc-champions-trophy-2013-results-india-are-champions-after-stunning-england-in-thrilling-final-482179 |website=IBTimes India}}{{cite web |access-date=23 June 2013 |date=23 June 2013 |first=Nagraj|last=Gollapudi |title=Dhoni rejoices after long hard Sunday |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ms-dhoni-rejoices-after-long-hard-sunday-644763 |website=ESPN Cricinfo}}
