Pakistan is all set to face India in a do-or-die Champions Trophy match today at 2 pm.
Since India has won the last five One Day Internationals (ODIs), Pakistan’s chances of winning this match are slim. However, we have to mention that overall, in the history of the Champions Trophy, Pakistan has won more games against India.
So basically, the two nations came face-to-face five times in Champions Trophy, Pakistan won three times and India two.
However, in matches played in Dubai, the equation changes.
India and Pakistan have faced off twice in Dubai, with India winning both times.
Pakistan has a remarkable lead of 73-57 in one-day internationals overall. With a somewhat respectable record, perhaps we can also have high expectations this time around.
Today will be the sixth Champions Trophy encounter between India and Pakistan and the 136th in ODIs overall.
Earlier, Pakistan lost to New Zealand while India won against Bangladesh by six wickets.
The game against India is a must-win for Pakistan because if we lose we may get eliminated.
