IND vs PAK Live Streaming, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: The cricketing universe is set to explode as India and Pakistan lock horns in the most awaited clash of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025!
This is not just another game—it’s a battle of pride, passion, and prestige. The electrifying Dubai International Cricket Stadium will be the battleground where these two giants reignite their age-old rivalry on Sunday, February 23.

India, coming off a commanding six-wicket victory over Bangladesh, will be brimming with confidence. Meanwhile, Pakistan, reeling from a heavy 60-run defeat against New Zealand, desperately needs a win to stay alive in the competition. With emotions running high and a massive global audience tuning in, expect nothing short of a thrilling contest!
India began their Champions Trophy campaign in dominant fashion, securing a comprehensive six-wicket victory over Bangladesh. Their bowlers, led by a resurgent Mohammed Shami, dismantled Bangladesh’s batting lineup with precision. Shami’s five-wicket haul (5/31) was a masterclass in seam bowling, making him one of the key threats heading into the Pakistan encounter.
On the batting front, Shubman Gill stole the show with a scintillating century, ensuring India’s chase of 228 runs was smooth and effortless. With Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and KL Rahul in their ranks, the Indian batting order looks formidable, posing a significant challenge for Pakistan’s bowling attack.
A win in this match would almost guarantee India a place in the semi-finals, and given their dominant start, Rohit Sharma’s men will be eager to keep their winning momentum intact.
Unlike India, Pakistan’s campaign has already hit a roadblock after suffering a 60-run defeat against New Zealand in their opening match. Their bowlers, including Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf, failed to contain the Kiwi batters, conceding 321 runs. The chase proved to be a massive challenge, as Pakistan’s middle order crumbled under pressure, exposing their batting frailties.
Mohammad Rizwan, leading the side, will have a huge responsibility to lift the team’s morale ahead of this high-stakes match. With the likes of Babar Azam, Imam-ul-Haq, and Saud Shakeel, Pakistan possesses the talent, but their inconsistency remains a major concern.
For Pakistan, this match is a do-or-die battle. A defeat would all but eliminate them from the tournament, while a victory would revive their campaign and keep their knockout hopes alive.
However, as the match progresses, the batting conditions improve, and the surface tends to settle down, allowing stroke players to capitalise. Expect batsmen to play freely once they survive the initial swing movement. Spin will come into play in the middle overs, with slow bowlers extracting turn and bounce, making it tricky for batters to accelerate in the middle phase.
Another key factor is dew, which is expected to form in the second innings. Dew can make gripping the ball difficult for bowlers, especially spinners, giving an advantage to the team chasing. Captains winning the toss might opt to bowl first, keeping the dew factor in mind.
