The cricket rivalry between India and Pakistan is one of the most intense in sports history. Both the teams are set to clash in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday 23rd February.
Team India comes into this high-stakes match with confidence, having secured a six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in their opening game. On the other hand, Pakistan is looking to bounce back after suffering a 60-run defeat against New Zealand in their first match of the tournament.
As the two teams prepare to face off, India will be aiming to put behind the disappointment of the 2017 Champions Trophy final, where Pakistan handed them a crushing 180-run defeat. Since that loss, India has dominated this rivalry in ODI tournaments, winning five consecutive encounters.
Despite India's recent success, Pakistan has historically had the upper hand in ODIs and also leads in Champions Trophy head-to-head battles, winning three out of five matches.
