A highly anticipated showdown between the two arch rivals India and Pakistan in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, is set to take place on February 23, 2025, at a neutral venue in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

"The PCB has picked the UAE as a neutral venue for the Champions Trophy," PCB spokesperson Amir Mir said.
