IND vs PAK CT 2025: India will take on Pakistan in their Group A encounter of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

Now, eight years later, India enters the fixture with a fresh mindset but the same determination to dominate their arch-rivals on a grand stage.
