India vs Pakistan Champions Trophy 2025: Check IND vs PAK Key Head-to-Head Stats, Expected Playing XI & Match Analysis: India will take on arch-rivals Pakistan in the much-anticipated clash of the ICC Champions Trophy at Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.
Rohit Sharma-led India started their campaign with a comfortable six-wicket win over Bangladesh on Wednesday. On the other hand, hosts Pakistan suffered a 60-run loss against New Zealand in the tournament opener in Karachi earlier this week.
It will be a must-win encounter for defending champions Pakistan to stay in the hunt for the semi-final from Group A while a win for India will almost secure a last-four berth in the eight-team spectacle.
Champions Trophy: India vs Pakistan – Head-To-Head
In their last ODI meet in the 2023 World Cup in Ahmedabad, India registered an emphatic seven-wicket win as captain Rohit and Shreyas Iyer scored half-centuries to keep their unbeaten record intact in the tournament.
However, India faced a setback in their last clash against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy as they lost the 2017 title clash at The Oval to miss out on their second silverware in the tournament.
Meanwhile, India have a psychological edge of staying unbeaten against Pakistan in the last six ODIs (including the 2023 Asia Cup group stage washout) since 2018.
The two sides last played against each other in the 2024 T20 World Cup group stage match in New York. India went on to win the title, beating South Africa in the final to lift their second T20 World Cup trophy after 2007.
Champions Trophy: India vs Pakistan – Likely Playing XI
Pakistan’s likely playing XI for the Champions Trophy 2025 against India: Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Mohammad Rizwan (C & WK), Salman Ali Agha, Saud Shakeel, Khushdil Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed.

The rain is unlikely to cause any hindrance during the Champions Trophy game between India and Pakistan, set to be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on February 23. Although it was raining a couple of days before India’s first match of the tournament in Dubai.
