Pakistan, on the other hand, faces mounting pressure after a disappointing loss to New Zealand in their tournament opener. Despite hosting the Champions Trophy, Pakistan will have to play India in Dubai, as India refused to travel to Pakistan. The change in venue adds another layer of challenge for Mogammed Rizwan's side.
Adding to Pakistan’s woes, batter Fakhar Zaman has been ruled out due to injury, with Imam-ul-Haq stepping in as his replacement. Zaman’s early departure in the match against New Zealand, after sustaining a muscle injury, has left Pakistan with a key gap to fill at the top.
This India v Pakistan clash holds massive significance for both teams. Pakistan must secure a victory to stay in contention, while India, fresh from a win over Bangladesh, will aim to assert their dominance further.
From a tactical standpoint, India appear well-balanced with their preferred combination of two specialist fast bowlers, supplemented by Hardik Pandya’s medium pace. The spin department, featuring Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel, provides flexibility, with Axar’s batting offering an additional dimension to the lineup.
