India Vs Pakistan, Champions Trophy: Men In Blue Put In Hard Yards On Eve Of Dubai Face-Off
The Indian team had an afternoon practice session in Dubai on Saturday (February 22, 2025), the eve of their long-awaited face-off with arch-rivals Pakistan at the ICC Champions Trophy. Rohit Sharma's men are aiming to seal a semi-final spot, whereas Mohammad Rizwan's team are desperate to avoid early elimination from the tournament. While India are on a high after claiming a measured six-wicket win over a sprightly Bangladesh, Pakistan are evidently tense after the 60-run loss in the tournament-opener against New Zealand. The sub-continental rivals' last Champions Trophy clash was the 2017 final in which Pakistan walked away with the win and the trophy.
