India vs Pakistan might just be the biggest sporting rivalry there is. Around 1 billion tune in for the clash between two arch-rivals. The shared history and current geopolitical landscape just take the rivalry to the next level. After eight months, both teams will face off at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on February 23 at the ICC Champions Trophy.
It’ll be the 22nd meeting between the two nations at ICC events. The first one came at the 1992 ODI World Cup, and the last one came at the 2024 T20 World Cup. Everyone knows that the India cricket team leads the head-to-head record at the ODI World Cup, but what about when the two titans clash at the ICC Champions Trophy?
