As the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 heats up, cricket fans around the world are gearing up for one of the most anticipated clashes in sports history – India vs Pakistan. Scheduled for February 23 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, this match promises to reignite the fierce rivalry between the two neighbouring nations, which dates back to their first encounter in 1952.
This matchup comes at a crucial juncture in the tournament. India enters the game with a strong momentum following a comfortable six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in their opening match. In contrast, Pakistan are under pressure after suffering a disappointing 60-run loss to New Zealand, making this a must-win encounter for them if they hope to keep their semi-final hopes alive.
India have won five of the six encounters against Pakistan since the Champions Trophy 2017 final. The last time both teams faced off in a 50-over format was during the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, where India triumphed by seven wickets. The intensity of this rivalry has only grown since then, especially after their thrilling encounter in the T20 World Cup last year, which India won by just six runs.
