ICC Champions Trophy 2025 - Pakistan vs India - Who Will Win?

Updated At: 2025/02/21

The time has come for the biggest rivalry in international cricket - Pakistan vs India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Pakistan vs India is a rivalry that is etched in the history books of international cricket since these two countries gained their individual status post-independence.

In the Champions Trophy set-up, the two teams last met in the historical final match of the 2017 edition. Pakistan dominated the fixture since the start of the game and scored a comfortable win over India.

Their last meeting in international cricket took place in the T20 World Cup 2024 where team India came out as a winner in a low-scoring fixture. Team India’s bowling unit was the real performer in the match and helped the men in blue to come out on top.

The hosts of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 have witnessed an unfortunate start to the tournament. They have witnessed a loss against New Zealand in the first game. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first, however, the decision worked against the team. The Kiwis were fabulous with the bat and scored 320 runs in the match.

Pakistan’s batting unit felt short and as their top-order departed early, the rest of the batting unit failed to score runs. Facing India in the 2nd fixture comes with immense pressure because the team is in desperate need of a win.

Team India had a favourable start to their group stage. They scored an easy win over Bangladesh in the first fixture and gained an advantage in the group point table. Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first but the Indian pace unit decimated the batting attack and stopped them from scoring a big number. Indian batters did their job well and scored a win.

In this article, we bring you the key players and winning odds for the Pakistan vs India fixture according to the betting websites in India.
