Pakistan need to up their ante as the current stand between Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel saw more than 70 balls being consumed for just 39 runs. Not scoring runs in the middle overs might backfire for the hosts. PAK 86/2 (22)
Rohit Sharma has returned to the field after a brief break. Still unclear why he went off the field. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s run rate has gone down drastically. PAK 77/2 (19)
Meanwhile, MS Dhoni is catching the India vs Pakistan from a shooting set. In fact, the likes of India stars Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma have already reached the stadium to witness the game.

It’s been 29 balls since Pakistan hit the last boundary. In fact the last five overs have yielded only 10 runs. India have tightened the noose certainly. PAK 63/2 (15)
Wasim Akram looks upset with Imam-ul-Haq for taking that unnecessary run. “I think it was kind of a suicide run. There was no need for it. He was looking good, he was well set,” Akram says. PAK 59/2 (13)
Mohammed Shami returns to bowling again. The India pacer left the field earlier due to some discomfort on his leg. Looks perfect on his return. Even his speed has also improved this time. PAK 58/2 (12)
OUTTTTTT!!!! Imam-ul-Haq is run out in Kuldeep Yadav’s first over. Two wickets in two overs for India. The left-hander pushes for a single towards mid-on, but Axar Patel charges and hits the bulls eye. Every wicket is crucial for India. PAK 52/2 (10)
HUGEEEEE Wicket for India!!!!!! Babar Azam goes for his favourite cover drive, but gets a thick edge and KL Rahul does the rest. Hardik Pandya celebrates in his unique way. Saud Sakeel comes in the middle. Meanwhile, Mohammed Shami is back in the field. PAK 41/1 (8.2)
Hardhik Pandya is brought into the attack. Good start by Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq as the Pakistani openers looks more confident unlike the previous game. PAK 31/0 (7)
The physio has come out to check on Mohammed Shami and they are checking on his leg just below the knee. The India pacer is raring to go again. Doesn’t looking easy at the moment for Shami as runs to bowl again. He leaves the field for a break. PAK 25/0 (5)
First boundary for Pakistan through Babar Azam. The Pakistan opener beautifully drives Harshit Rana for a couple of fours. Babar also completed his 1000 runs in ICC ODI events. PAK 22/0 (4)
Great comeback from Mohammed Shami after that wayward first over. Interestingly, none of the Pakistan openers have been able to find the gap so far. PAK 14/0 (3)
Harshit Rana shares the new ball for India. Pretty good start from the youngster in his first India vs Pakistan clash. PAK 10/0 (2)
Looks like pressure is on Mohammed Shami. The India pacer bowls five wides in the first over. PAK 6/0 (1)
The players are out in the middle. Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq are out in the middle for Pakistan. Mohammed Shami, who took a five-wicket haul against Bangladesh, will open the bowling for India.
If the pitch is slightly better, India’s batting lineup is strong enough to chase down 280: Cheteshwar Pujara
Kohli has got a wonderful record, he knows how to score: Piyush Chawla
Time for National Anthem for both the teams as the players walk out in the middle. India go first, followed by Pakistan.
It’s toss time in Dubai. Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Rizwan are in the middle. Pakistan opt to bat first.

“Its just out of the game. We are not here to beat Pakistan, but we are here to win ICC Champions Trophy.”

In a blog for Dawn, Raja wrote, “India already have a victory under their belt, beating Bangladesh in their first game.

India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: Kirti Azad while speaking to ANI said, “It is like a normal match…On the cricket field, you play the ball and not the bowler…people are always very excited about the match. The team that plays well will win. The Indian team is very balanced…Pakistan team can surprise you anytime…I wish Team India all the best…”
India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: Speaking to Aaj Tak, Ganguly said, “He will definitely come through, he’s a key player in limited-overs formats. Players can have couple of bad innings. He’s bound to deliver in an important match, and he has consistently performed well in such high-pressure games. I’m confident he will find his form. It’s not just about Kohli, every player needs to contribute. I wish the entire team the best.”
“He is a cricket icon with 50 centuries in ODIs, and I am confident he will continue to score runs.” the former Indian cricketer added.

India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: Despite the criticism of his form, Rohit has received some much-needed support from former teammate Yuvraj Singh ahead of the crucial Champions Trophy clash against arch-rivals Pakistan.
Speaking to JioHotstar, Singh said that if Rohit is scoring runs while struggling that’s an even more dangerous thing for the opposition. He said, “Rohit Sharma, whether in form or out of form, it doesn’t matter to me. I would always back my match-winners. In ODI cricket, especially in white-ball formats, he has been India’s biggest match-winner as a batsman, alongside Virat Kohli. If Rohit is struggling but still gets runs, that’s dangerous for the opposition,”
“If he’s in form, he will score a century in 60 balls. That’s his quality—once he gets going, he’s not just hitting fours; he’s clearing the ropes with sixes. He is also one of the best players of the short ball. Even if someone bowls at 145-150 kmph, Rohit has the ability to hook it effortlessly. His strike rate is always between 120-140, and on his day, he can single-handedly win you the game” the former cricketer added.
India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: Olympic medalist Manu Bhaker while speaking to news agency ANI said, “We will cheer for Team India, and I am hopeful they will perform very well… All the best, Team India!”

India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: Speaking to a TV channel, Akmal said, “Babar was captain for nearly five years most of the time in all formats and he never tried to build up the bench strength due to his likes and dislikes,”
“I told Babar that look give me a fair chance. You are doing well in the top order and I can be your finisher and we can win matches regularly and it will be good for Pakistan cricket,” the former cricketer added.
India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: Before the high-octane clash, Haris Rauf pointed out that Pakistan’s two wins over India three years back will act as a confidence-booster for Mohammad Rizwan’s men.
“No doubt, it will boost our confidence. We have beaten India here in back-to-back years. We will try and repeat the good things from those games and try and beat India. I hope it’s a good match,” Haris Rauf told reporters in Dubai on Friday.
“No doubt, the record is good. But it depends on the pitches. It might be a spin track. We will look at the conditions and try and use them well,” added the Pakistani pacer.
Clearly, Haris Rauf was referring to India losses against Pakistan in the 2021 T20 World Cup and the in the 2022 Asia Cup, both of which were played in Dubai – the venue for Sunday
India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: “It is going to be hard for Pakistan now,” Ponting was quoted by ICC as saying
“We spoke only a few days ago and my prediction for that game was that Pakistan would beat New Zealand and probably beat them quite comfortably. Fakhar’s injury did not help their cause but they were chasing a very big total on the back of some great batting from New Zealand. To post 320, it was always going to be a hard run chase.”
“On their day, they were as capable as anybody. And now, having lost to New Zealand, they are going to have to be at their absolute best against India to beat them. India has got off to a great start, Pakistan not so much. And with that injury that we spoke about, I think it’s going to be hard for them to bounce back, but they can,” the former Aussie captain added.
India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: “First of all, I think it is a big match, but I think the biggest match would obviously be the final that the team plays. And definitely, we have been playing some good ODI cricket.
“Pakistan, unfortunately, have lost some of the matches that they have played recently, but by no means are we going to take them as a lesser side. It is important for us to bring our A-game tomorrow,” Shubman Gill said in the pre-match press conference.
India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: Speaking to ANI, former Indian cricketer Syed Kirmani said, “You see, this is the highlight of all the entire Commonwealth countries and in the other countries, European countries as well, wherever the Indian expats and the Pakistani expats are there, so they are glued to the TV to see who’s going to win. Obviously, every Indian would like India to win. Every Pakistani would like to see Pakistani win, but we surely have an upper hand for sure,”
India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: The India vs Pakistan match live-stream will begin at 1:30PM while the toss be held at 2PM in Dubai.

India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: Pakistan head coach Aaqib Javed while defending his bowlers said, “See, one thing is that when you see a full match, you focus on the whole match. If there your average score is 320 to 350, then you focus on one or two bowlers. How did they give more than 60 or 70? At times ,you don’t get such conditions. What I just said about fitness level – everyone is now realising this everyone has to improve. But I don’t think if you concede 80 in one match – it is not the 90’s cricket that we used to give 60 and not be able to sleep for 6 months. Now this game is fast, if we make 350 runs, then it’s possible that you give away 70-80 runs. But, the game tomorrow will be different. We cannot see that he has given 80 runs, now what to do with him. Every game starts differently and finishes differently,”
