New Delhi: India face traditional rivals Pakistan in a crunch Champions Trophy encounter at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.
The match was originally scheduled to be played in Lahore but the International Cricket Council had to shift it to Dubai after India refused to travel to Pakistan citing security reasons arising from long-standing geo-political tension.
Pakistan plunged to a 60-run loss in their tournament opener against New Zealand while Rohit Sharma’s Indian team won their first game, against Bangladesh by six wickets in Dubai.
In India’s opening match, Shubman Gill’s unbeaten knock of 101 runs off 129 balls guided them to a comfortable victory and fetched him the man of the match award.
On his return to ICC events from injury for the first time since the ODI World Cup in 2023, star pacer Mohammed Shami claimed five wickets to restrict Bangladesh to a below par score of 228 runs.
The right arm seamer became the fastest bowler to claim 200 ODI wickets in terms of ball bowled, overtaking Australian pacer Mitchell Starc, and was only behind him to the milestone in terms of matches played.
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma also became the second-quickest batter to score 11,000 runs in ODIs as Shami became India’s most successful bowler in ICC events.
After Pakistan’s opening day, they must beat India to keep their Champions Trophy campaign alive while a win for India would all but confirm their place in the semi-finals.
