india and pakistan cricket team
Champions Trophy 2025: The schedule of Champions Trophy 2025 has been released. This time the first match is to be played on 19 February. The Indian team will start its mission on 20th February, but the most awaited match is India vs Pakistan. The great match between India and Pakistan will be played on 23 February at Dubai International Stadium. This time Pakistan is hosting the Champions Trophy. He has also prepared the schedule. But if you would have looked at it carefully, you would have noticed one thing, which we will also tell you. It may happen that Pakistan gets trapped in a trap of its own making.
Indian team’s first match against Bangladesh on 20th February
The Pakistani team will play its first match in the Champions Trophy on 19 February. On this day, a match between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played in Karachi. After this, he has to play the second match against India on 23 February in Dubai. If we talk about Team India, then India’s first match is against Bangladesh on 20th February and after that the team will go to play the match on 23rd February. While on one hand Pakistan will have to reach Dubai from Karachi after playing its match, on the other hand Team India will be camping in Dubai itself.
Team India will have a chance to win in Dubai
Although the distance from Karachi to Dubai is not very much, but still it is not an easy task for the players to play the whole day and then travel. Not only this, Pakistan will not be able to get much match practice after reaching Dubai. Since the Indian team will be staying there, it will have the opportunity to prepare as much as it wants. Also, at the Dubai ground where the match is to be held between India and Pakistan, Team India would have already faced Bangladesh, hence it would have better knowledge of the pitch and conditions. While on one hand Team India may benefit from this, on the other hand Pakistan may have to suffer loss.
Dubai stadium has not been very lucky for Team India
The Dubai ground has not been very lucky for Team India. This is the same ground where Pakistan defeated Team India in the 2021 T20 World Cup. If we talk about Champions Trophy only, then here also Pakistan has a slight upper hand. A total of 5 matches have been played so far in this ICC tournament between India and Pakistan, out of which Pakistan has won three and India has won two. Among these three defeats, one defeat is also included in the 2017 final. However, teams have changed a lot since then. The Indian team will have the opportunity to win the match by reaching Dubai first and understanding the environment there better. But it is certain that this match will be very intense.
