The 2nd match of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played between two-time winners, India and 2017 semifinalists, Bangladesh from Group A. Both teams have played only once in the history of the tournament, i.e the 2017 semifinal. The Men In Blue won that game to qualify for the final. As the Indian team can’t travel to Pakistan due to political tension, they will play their matches in Dubai.
The former champions would like to win this match to reduce the pressure before their match against arch-rivals Pakistan. On the other hand, Bangladesh would like to register their first win against their Asian neighbors. This tournament doesn’t give too many margin of errors with Pakistan having lost the tournament opener against 2000 winners, New Zealand.
