New Delhi: Pakistan will host the Champions Trophy 2025, but the Indian team will play its matches in Dubai. This tournament will start from 19th February and Pakistan's first match will be against Bangladesh on 20th February. After this, India's second match will be against Pakistan on 23 February. It will not be easy for India to play against Pakistan in Dubai, because in the last T20 World Cup also, India had to face defeat against Pakistan in Dubai.
The match between India and Pakistan in the 2021 T20 World Cup was held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and both the teams will also face each other in the same stadium for the Champions Trophy. In 2021, India lost against Pakistan by 10 wickets in Dubai, which was India's first defeat against Pakistan in any World Cup. This time the match to be held in Dubai will be very exciting, especially considering this history. Apart from this, India has also faced defeat against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy before.
Pakistan is hosting the Champions Trophy, but the Indian team had refused to tour Pakistan. The hybrid model was then adopted, and all of India's group matches have been held in Dubai. If India qualifies for the knockout stage, the semi-finals and final will also be held in Dubai. However, one semi-final will also be held in Pakistan.
