India will hope to move closer to the semifinals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 with a win over Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
Rohit Sharma’s side comes into this contest after a comprehensive six-wicket win over Bangladesh in its opening match, where Shubman Gill scored a century and Mohammad Shami picked up five wickets.
For Pakistan, this high-stakes clash presents the perfect opportunity to turn things around and secure its first win. However, a second consecutive defeat would severely dent its qualification hopes.
