India vs Pakistan LIVE: India started the chase positively, but after slamming a few boundaries, Rohit Sharma was bowled by Shaheen Shah Afridi for 20 in 15 deliveries. Post that, Shubman Gill got out for 46. But after that, Virat Kohli took matters in his own hands and smashed a third fifty against them. Eventually, he reached his 51st ODI ton to take India home comfortably.
After a 77-ball 46, Mohammad Rizwan lost his patience, as he was bowled by Axar Patel, as the score moved to 151/3. Soon after, Pakistan lost Tayyab and Saud Shakeel both. The wickets did not stop there as they were bundled out for a poor 241.
India cricket team and Pakistan will renew their rivalry once again as they lock horns in the Champions Trophy 2025 clash in Dubai at 2.30 PM IST. The India vs Pakistan Live match is a do-or-die for the co-hosts after they succumbed to a 60-run loss to New Zealand in their opening game. India, on the other hand, got off to a winning start by defeating Bangladesh by 6 wickets. While India have an advantage over Pakistan in terms of head-to-head record in the format, they will be keen to overcome the loss handed by PAK in the T20 World Cup 2022 at the same venue.

Dubai Stadium pitch report
As the day progresses, the pitch is likely to become slower, with Indian batters having trained rigorously to tackle the spinners. Initially, the surface will be favorable for both batting and pace bowling, with seamers finding some assistance. However, in the middle overs, the pitch is expected to turn, aiding the spinners. While batters may have the upper hand early in the match, the nature of the surface does not always lead to high-scoring games. The skipper winning the toss might prefer to have a bowl first.

India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill (vice captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Varun Chakravarthy.
