Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan has won the coin toss and opted to bat first against India in their Group A game at the 2025 Champions Trophy.

The Indian national cricket team will face Pakistan in the second group stage match for both nations in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.

Despite the match already being underway, spectators continued to trickle in to the Stadium, eager to catch the Champions Trophy clash

The star Indian pace spearhead was a nightmare for Aussies to face during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy concluded recently. The 3-1 scoreline in favour of Australia, who won the trophy for the first time since 2014 and avoided a hat-trick of series losses to India at home, does not truly show how much fight Bumrah single-handedly put for India.

Jasprit Bumrah was spotted at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium before the start of the Champions Trophy 2025 match between India vs Pakistan on Sunday.

Pakistan on Sunday won the toss and elected to bat first as they face off against arch-rivals India in their Champions Trophy match against India in Dubai. The pitch in Dubai is expected to be slow as the same stadium hosted the International League T20 just before the Champions Trophy.

Say what you may, but there's no bigger rivalry in world cricket than an IND vs PAK match, and today, both teams will be penning a fresh chapter in their blockbuster history.
