ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Match Date, Time and Venue: India and Pakistan will face each other in the ICC Champions Trophy on February 23 in Dubai in a hybrid model set, the ICC officially announced the schedule of the tournament on Tuesday.
India will be a neutral venue for all matches involving India, including knockout matches, ending weeks of intense discussions after India refused to visit Pakistan for the ODI tournament. The tournament will be played from February 19 to March 9 for India at 3 venues in Pakistan and one venue in Dubai.
The match against Pakistan, Bangladesh and New Zealand in Group ‘A’ will now be held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
India and Pakistan last met in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in New York. The Man in Blue scripted a dramatic six-run victory before winning the title in Barbados.
