NEW DELHI: Cricket’s fiercest rivalry will take center stage on Sunday as India face Pakistan in a high-stakes ICC Champions Trophy clash at the Dubai International Stadium. With a packed 25,000-strong crowd and millions watching worldwide, the pressure is on, especially for Pakistan, whose title defense hangs by a thread.
Due to political tensions, the two teams only meet in multi-nation tournaments, and this edition is no different. The match is being played in Dubai after India declined to travel to tournament hosts Pakistan.
