By IANS News February 23, 2025 • 23:38 PM View: 1074

Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Pakistan's hopes of making it to the semi-finals of the 2025 Champions Trophy hang by a thread after a six-wicket defeat to India in their Group A clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Mohammad Rizwan's men now find themselves at the bottom of the table, requiring multiple results to go in their favour to stay alive in the tournament.

A key fixture in determining Pakistan’s future is the Monday's clash between New Zealand and Bangladesh in Rawalpindi. If the Black Caps defeat Bangladesh, Pakistan will be officially eliminated from the tournament, with New Zealand and India advancing to the semi-finals.
