After the 2024 T20 World Cup, India and Pakistan will face each other in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The two Asian powerhouses have limited their encounters to ICC and continental tournaments due to political differences.
Indian teams have historically dominated their arch rivals in ICC tournaments, most recently when India narrowly defeated Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024 in New York. Pakistan’s last win against India in an ICC event was in the T20 World Cup 2021 in the UAE.
And their previous defeat came all the way back in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. Eight years later, India will clash with Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
