The Champions Trophy 2025 has started off with a bang and the stage is now set for the big-ticket encounter between India and Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The Pakistan team led by Mohammad Rizwan has now reached Dubai after the loss in the opening game against New Zealand in Karachi.

Pakistan Under Pressure After Loss To New Zealand

In a video posted by PCB Media's official account, Pakistan players are seen getting out of Dubai airport and the atmosphere is surely heating up in UAE ahead of the high-octane clash. It is also a crucial game for Pakistan as one more loss could significantly reduce their chances of qualifying for the semis of Champions Trophy.

It is the only game that Pakistan will play outside their country in the group stage and with the tournament on line, expect them to come up with a better performance. However, things won't be easy for Pakistan as India have dominated them in the recent past and looked more settled as a unit.

Also, Fakhar Zaman is out of Champions Trophy 2025 and Pakistan would have to find a way to win without him now. Imam-ul-Haq has been named as his replacement and Pakistan would have to bowl better at the death against India. Also, they need to show more intent with the bat and the only silver lining for the Men in Green is that they beat India against all odds in the final of the last edition of Champions Trophy.
