Mohammed Shami returned to his best with the ball in India's Champions Trophy 2025 opener against Bangladesh. Shami picked up a superb five-wicket haul, taking two scalps in his opening spell and then three in his final spell. In the process, Shami also became the quickest bowler to reach 200 ODI scalps, in terms of balls bowled. Shami celebrated the wicket of Bangladesh tailender Taskin Ahmed with a flying kiss, and explained the reason behind his celebration at the post-match press conference.
India will take on arch-rivals Pakistan in the much-anticipated clash of the ICC Champions Trophy at Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. Rohit Sharma-led India started their campaign with a comfortable six-wicket win over Bangladesh on Wednesday. On the other hand, hosts Pakistan suffered a 60-run loss against New Zealand in the tournament opener in Karachi earlier this week. It will be a must-win encounter for defending champions Pakistan to stay in the hunt for the semi-final from Group A while a win for India will almost secure a last-four berth in the eight-team spectacle.
Former Pakistan cricketer Mudassar Nazar believes that if Pakistan can play up to its potential, the defending champions could stand a chance of scripting a victory against "formidable" India in the ongoing Champions Trophy in Dubai on Sunday. The clash between two hot favourites for the Champions Trophy will unfold in Dubai. Pakistan would look to avoid leaving their own party early, while India will be keen on helping their bitter rival pack their bag and escort them to exit.
Former player Sanjay Manjrekar believes Virat Kohli must "settle his mind" and not pressurise himself by overthinking or practicing a lot, ahead of India's key clash against arch rivals Pakistan in the Champions Trophy in Dubai on Sunday. Kohli, who has struggled against spin bowling of late in one-day cricket, arrived at practice a couple of hours before the others and spent a considerable time facing spinners in the nets on Saturday.
It is the biggest cricketing event on the annual calendar. It is the greatest rivalry in the sport. It is India vs Pakistan at an ICC world event. It is India vs Pakistan at the 2025 Champions Trophy on a Super Sunday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The two teams will come into the mega contest with different mindsets. Hosts Pakistan were thrashed by New Zealand in their tournament opener whereas India were comfortable winners against Bangladesh in Dubai on Thursday.
Indian pacer Mohammed Shami will play an ODI against Pakistan after a long gap of ten years. The last time Shami featured against the arch-rivals in the 50-over format was in 2015. He has five wickets in three matches, and his best against Pakistan is 4/35 and has an average of 21.40. Shami's return from injury has been nothing short of a fairy tale, as he made an emphatic comeback in an ICC event, picking up 5/53 against Bangladesh and completing 200 ODI wickets.
Indian cricket team wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant missed the practice session ahead of the much-anticipated Champions Trophy 2025 clash against Pakistan. While Virat Kohli arrived around '2-3 hours' ahead of the session to face spinners at the nets, most of the other cricketers were also present. However, Pant was forced to miss the practice and in the pre-match press conference, Shubman Gill revealed that he was down with viral fever. Pant missed the first game against Bangladesh where KL Rahul was included ahead of him and he is expected to accompany the team if he is declared fit.
