Preview

The fifth match of the Champions Trophy 2025 will see Pakistan locking horns with India, at the Dubai International Stad, on Saturday, February 23. India and Pakistan have faced each other in 135 matches in ODI. Out of these 135 games, India have won 57 whereas Pakistan have come out victorious on 73 times. India beat Bangladesh in the opening match by six wickets while Pakistan suffered a defeat against New Zealand in the opening match by 78 runs and will be keen to bounce back. 

Match Expert Tips

The captain and vice-captains have been selected keeping the venue in mind. The Dubai International Stadium in Dubai is expected to assist the spinners throughout the game. There will be some help for the pacers as well and batting will be easier with the new ball as evident in the previous game. Both teams are stacked with some great bowlers and we will try to cover as many bowlers and all-rounders.
