India vs Pakistan – A High-Stakes Clash in Champions Trophy 2025
The much-anticipated India vs Pakistan clash is set to take place today at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the Champions Trophy 2025 group stage. This is the second match for both teams—India started strong with a win against Bangladesh, while Pakistan suffered a defeat against New Zealand. A loss today could lead to Pakistan’s elimination from the tournament.
In the 2017 Champions Trophy, India and Pakistan faced off twice. India won their group-stage encounter, but Pakistan bounced back in the final, securing the title with a dominant 180-run victory.
