India will seek to secure a place in the semifinals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 when they face Pakistan in a significant match in Dubai. Currently India holds the second position in Group A while Mohammad Rizwans team is eager to prevent an early exit from the tournament. Pakistan aims to draw motivation from their victory against India in the 2017 Champions Trophy final held in London while also recognizing the necessity to enhance their performance across all areas. Pakistan will be without Fakhar Zaman who sustained an injury during the game against New Zealand. Imam-ul-Haq has been named as his replacement after Zaman was ruled out of the tournament.
