Champions Trophy 2025: India vs Pakistan Clash Scheduled for Dubai
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has officially announced the schedule for the highly anticipated 2025 Champions Trophy. In light of ongoing political tensions between India and Pakistan, all of India’s matches will be held in the UAE. The marquee encounter between India and Pakistan is set for February 23, 2025, in Dubai, igniting excitement among cricket fans worldwide.
India’s Road to the Trophy
India has been placed in Group A alongside Pakistan, Bangladesh, and New Zealand. Here’s a quick look at India’s matches:
- February 20: Bangladesh vs India – Dubai

Defending champions Pakistan will kick off the tournament against New Zealand in Karachi on February 19. The tournament’s semi-finals are scheduled for March 4 and 5, with the final to be held on March 9 in Lahore, unless India qualifies, in which case it will be moved to Dubai.
Neutral Venues and Future Impact
The ICC has adopted a hybrid model for matches involving India and Pakistan, ensuring that these encounters occur at neutral venues until at least 2027. This arrangement also extends to upcoming tournaments, including the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup and the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
