IND vs PAK Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Teams, Hot Picks and Tips for Grand League Teams | ICC Champions Trophy 2025

India and Pakistan have shared an intense cricketing rivalry, especially in ICC tournaments, where India has historically dominated. With 10 wins in 13 ODI encounters, India has consistently outperformed Pakistan on the grand stage. However, the Champions Trophy remains an exception, where Pakistan holds a slight edge with a 3-2 win-loss record, making it the only ICC event where they have a positive record against India.

Notably, Pakistan's two most recent victories against India in ICC events, the 2017 Champions Trophy final and the 2021 T20 World Cup, were heavily influenced by their pace attack. Mohammad Amir’s fiery spell in 2017 and Shaheen Afridi’s destructive opening burst in 2021 proved crucial in dismantling India’s top order early in the innings.

On an individual level, Shubman Gill has been setting new benchmarks in ODI cricket. With 2688 runs in just 51 innings, he holds the record for the most runs at this stage of a career. His remarkable average of 62.51 is the highest for any player, showcasing his consistency.

Additionally, only Pakistan’s Imam-ul-Haq has scored more centuries (9) than Gill at the same point in his career. With such rising talents and historical rivalries, every India-Pakistan encounter remains a high-stakes battle on the global stage.
