The 2025 Pakistan Champions Trophy promises exciting cricket action, with Pakistan featuring in some thrilling matchups. The tournament kicks off with Pakistan's opening game against New Zealand on February 19, 2024, at Karachi, marking the beginning of their campaign. On February 23, 2024, Pakistan will take part in the mother of all battles as they take on arch-rivals India in a high-stakes encounter in Dubai, one of the most anticipated clashes of the group stages.
Their last meeting in the 50-over format turned out to be decent for India, who bagged a 7-wicket victory in the ODI World Cup 2023. With the match being played in a neutral venue, it expected to be a stadium filled with green and blue in the stands. However, Pakistan fans will still remember the 180-run win against India in the 2017 Champions Trophy final which also took plae in an ODi format and will hope for more of the same when they take the pitch.

Next, on February 27, 2024, Pakistan takes on Bangladesh in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, as part of their group fixtures. Following these matches, the competition heats up with the semi-finals: Semi-final 1 will be held in Dubai on March 4, 2024, while Semi-final 2 takes place in Lahore on March 5, 2024.
The grand finale is set for March 9, 2024, in Lahore, unless India qualifies, in which case the final will be moved to Dubai. A reserve day is scheduled for March 10, 2024, ensuring a fair chance to complete any unfinished business if the match is interrupted due to any reason.
