Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan has won the coin toss and opted to bat first against India in their Group A game at the 2025 Champions Trophy.

The Indian national cricket team will face Pakistan in the second group stage match for both nations in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.

Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat against India in the fifth match of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. The Men in Blue, in the process, set a new world record.

India and Pakistan are set to clash in a high-stakes ICC Champions Trophy encounter on Sunday, with both teams chasing different objectives. India, buoyed by their six-wicket win over Bangladesh, look to secure a semifinal berth, while Pakistan, reeling from a 60-run defeat to New Zealand, must win to stay in contention.

The star Indian pace spearhead was a nightmare for Aussies to face during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy concluded recently. The 3-1 scoreline in favour of Australia, who won the trophy for the first time since 2014 and avoided a hat-trick of series losses to India at home, does not truly show how much fight Bumrah single-handedly put for India.

Say what you may, but there's no bigger rivalry in world cricket than an IND vs PAK match, and today, both teams will be penning a fresh chapter in their blockbuster history.
