India and Pakistan to clash in Champions Trophy on Sunday

New Delhi: India and Pakistan will face off in the Champions Trophy on Sunday, drawing attention from millions of cricket fans and experts worldwide.

India started their campaign with a six-wicket victory over Bangladesh, maintaining strong form in the tournament. In contrast, Pakistan suffered a 60-run defeat against New Zealand in their opening match, leading to heavy criticism from their fans.

The pressure will be on Pakistan to deliver a strong performance against their traditional rivals.

Meanwhile, India is playing its matches in Dubai after refusing to compete in Pakistan, a decision that has drawn criticism from Pakistani fans. This adds to the stakes for India as they aim for a crucial win.

Historically, Pakistan has had the upper hand in head-to-head encounters, winning 73 of 135 matches, while India has secured 57 victories. India last won the Champions Trophy in 2013, while Pakistan claimed the title in 2017.
