Rohit Sharma-led India will square off against Mohammad Rizwan's Pakistan in a high-octane league stage match of the 2025 Champions Trophy. Both teams made contrasting starts to the tournament. India chased down the target of 229 against Bangladesh to kick off their journey with a win. Defending champions, Pakistan lost their opening tie against New Zealand. They got bowled out for 260 in the chase to the target of 321.
It's a must-win game for Pakistan. A defeat here will practically rule hosts Pakistan out of the tournament. A win will all but confirm India's entry into the semi-final.
The match will be played at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday (February 23) from 2:30 PM IST. It rained in Dubai a few days before the Bangladesh game and the fans are eager to know the latest weather report. Here, we have a look at Dubai's weather forecast for February 23 -
There is no chance of rain during the India-Pakistan game and the weather will remain sunny. The temperature will be above 32 degrees Celsius at 1:00 PM local time (2:30 PM IST). The temperature will remain above 30 degrees Celsius as the game progresses. The good news is that there is no chance of rain. The temperature will remain above 25 degrees in the evening.
The dew didn't play a part in the previous game and it might not have much role in the upcoming fixture too. The team batting second will have an advantage if there's dew.
Will both teams make changes?
Pakistan could make a couple of changes after the defeat against NZ. They will have one forced change as Fakhar Zaman was ruled out of the ICC event. India might retain their winning combination. Rishabh Pant, who was benched for the first game, might not be available for selection due to viral fever.
