India vs Pakistan LIVE: India cricket team and Pakistan will renew their rivalry once again as they lock horns in the Champions Trophy 2025 clash in Dubai at 2.30 PM IST. The game is a do-or-die for the co-hosts after they succumbed to a 60-run loss to New Zealand in their opening game. India, on the other hand, got off to a winning start by defeating Bangladesh by 6 wickets. While India have an advantage over Pakistan in terms of head-to-head record in the format, they will be keen to overcome the loss handed by PAK in the T20 World Cup 2022 at the same venue.

Dubai Stadium pitch report
As the day progresses, the pitch is likely to become slower, with Indian batters having trained rigorously to tackle the spinners. Initially, the surface will be favorable for both batting and pace bowling, with seamers finding some assistance. However, in the middle overs, the pitch is expected to turn, aiding the spinners. While batters may have the upper hand early in the match, the nature of the surface does not always lead to high-scoring games. The skipper winning the toss might prefer to have a bowl first.

India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill (vice captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Varun Chakravarthy.
