The India-Pakistan rivalry has always been considered the fiercest in history. Both teams will come to duel at Dubai International Cricket Stadium for the ICC Champions Trophy match on Sunday, February 23, 2025.
With a 6-wicket victory against Bangladesh in their first match, Team India comes with high confidence into this match. Pakistan, on the other hand, would like to gather themselves after their loss in the tournament against New Zealand by 60 runs, which was their first match in the tournament.
As both teams gear up for battle tomorrow, it is the challenge for India to erase memories of a dismal 180-run loss handed out to them by Pakistan in the grand finale of the 2017 Champions Trophy. After that loss, India has dominated ODIs, winning the next five encounters against Pakistan.
When it comes to ODIs in the Champions Trophy, Pakistan takes a slight edge over India, having beaten them three times out of the five occasions, even though India has been the better side in recent years.
