India

Mohammed Shami

• Champions Trophy 2025 Form: 5 Wickets in 1 Match

Shubman Gill

• Champions Trophy 2025 Form: 101 Runs in 1 Match

Shreyas Iyer

• Champions Trophy 2025 Form: 15 Runs in 1 Match
• The number four batter of the Indian batting line-up looked in a good touch in the first game. Even though Shreyas Iyer failed to convert his start into a big innings, his rhythm prior to the tournament indicates that he could be a vital player in this game.

Pakistan

Mohammad Rizwan

• Champions Trophy 2025 Form: 3 Runs in 1 Match
• The Pakistan skipper failed to fire in the first game. Even though Mohammad Rizwan struggled in the first match, he is player for the big occasions and pressure matches. There is a chance that Mohammad Rizwan could be the game changing pick in this game.

Agha Salman

• Champions Trophy 2025 Form: 42 Runs in 1 Match
• In the first match against New Zealand, Agha Salman looked in a good touch with the bat. He failed to convert the start he got and take his team through. But Salman has the ability to make effective contributions with both the bat and the ball and hence could be a valuable choice for the match. 

Babar Azam

• Champions Trophy 2025 Form: 64 Runs in 1 Match
• The Pakistan star batter played the role of an anchor in the first game against New Zealand. Even though Babar Azam played a slowish knock, given the way the other batters fell around him, he had no other way. However, Babar has the form and confidence coming into this game and could be an important pick for the game.
