Team India will face Pakistan in the high-voltage Group A match of the Champions Trophy 2025 on Sunday, February 23. The match between the two finalists of the 2017 edition is scheduled to take place at Dubai International Cricket Stadium from 2:30 PM IST onwards. Both the teams would like to come up with a big show and get the better of each other. Team India is coming into the contest after winning its Champions Trophy 2025 opener against Bangladesh by 6 wickets on Thursday, and on the other hand, Pakistan went down by 60 runs against New Zealand in Karachi. The Men in Green will be under pressure against India because a defeat can rule them out of the eight-team tournament.
Indian players are in red-hot form these days and there will be high expectations from the likes of Shubman Gill and Mohammed Shami along with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Kuldeep Yadav and others.
