Sun Feb 23 08:08:23 UTC 2025: ## India and Pakistan Set for Crucial Champions Trophy Clash in Dubai

**Dubai, UAE** – Cricket rivals India and Pakistan are set to clash in a highly anticipated Group A match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on Sunday, February 23rd, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The match, starting at 2:30 PM IST (toss at 2:00 PM IST), holds significant implications for both teams.

India, led by Rohit Sharma, enters the match on the back of a convincing six-wicket victory over Bangladesh. Pakistan, however, are looking to bounce back after a 60-run defeat to New Zealand in their tournament opener. A win for Pakistan is crucial to maintain their semi-final hopes, while victory for India would virtually secure their place in the last four of the eight-team tournament.

The last ODI encounter between these two sides, in the 2023 World Cup, saw India triumph with a comfortable seven-wicket win. Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer both scored half-centuries in that match.

The match will be televised live on Star Sports Network and Sports 18 Network in India, and streamed live on the Jio Hotstar app and website. Fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating this intense contest between two cricketing giants.
